NOCTURNE
Nocturnal dog walks, my specialty. At 2 AM another nocturnal soul with 2 dogs approaches from the opposite direction:
'Don't you think the weather tonight is perfect?'
'It's perfect'.
'Just us, and the 3 dogs, isn't that awesome?'
'Very.'
'The earth smells of spring, too, wouldn't you say?'
'I would do more than say it.'
'Oh, yeah, like what?'
'Here, hold my leash while I gather some from the field.'
'Ok, and?'
'Stretch out your palm.'
'Oh, I get it. You're not from around here, are you?'
'No, I'm not.'
'Where are you from, then?'
'I'm from Jupiter.'
'Cool.'
'This night is amazing, isn't it?'
'Absolutely.'
'Have a good one.'
'You too.'
