pace of asses

tonight, i intercepted an agitated lady attempting to steal a lawn chair from my backyard. our conversation was entirely random. it reminded me for some reason of a little while ago, i was crossing a street when a bouquet of flowers slapped down in front of me. I looked up and there was a woman on a balcony pointing at a man with raised hands, about four floors high. She clambered over the railing in her heels, holding onto it, but lolling out and obviously distressed. People around me stepped over the flowers and didn't look up. There was an exchange and then he went for her arms and she caved and they went inside together.
