Geographies – Davidson

The exercise felt a bit disconcerting because I was in control but not in control at the same time. I started at my building door. It was a little confusing at first, crossing the street and back again.  Then, I had to walk past a sad homeless person I always see in my neighborhood. He’s in a wheelchair with a suitcase. Then I walked through the back of the Safeway parking lot which smells awful.

Then the crazy thing happened. I kept crossing the busy street – not at the crosswalk! I kept telling myself don’t do it! But I did it three times!
