It could be February for all the grey cool sky and bluish fog that envelops the edges of the city, but the air is still and the streets quiet.
A piebald pigeon enthusiastically tosses a small piece of bread onto the sidewalk repeatedly in an effort to get crumbs to break off it.
A few feet away, two more pigeons poke at the creamy innards of a crushed peanut butter jar and I am reminded of a performance art piece I saw years ago that ended with the artist covered in peanut butter and bird seed.
I don’t have an affinity for that sort of art, but I do like peanut butter very much.
Further on, I pass a man cradling a pipe, huddled in a marble tiled doorway.
Above him, a billboard showcasing several yellow Minions encourages everyone to "Go Back to Bad"
I walk on, and as I cross the street to the station, there’s Gru, in real life, walking next to me.
What did you see?
