I first noticed him as I was about to make a right onto South Street this morning. I was driving to school. He was to my left, walking down the sidewalk in front of the Baptist church.
Tall and willowy. Blue jeans. Blue chambray shirt. Dark cowboy hat. He walked like an animation. His arms swung to and fro in front of him. Big, wide, and slow.
He was very tall, and I couldn't not think about the long shadow he'd cast down at noon.
There was something very shadowy about him. As though he was he was a weather system. A cloud.
Long after I turned I kept watching him in my rear view mirror. A myth walking through the center of town.
