Boston in the Park [Drew]

A narrated offbeat 'tale' of traffic-perceptions and consciousness in New England, 'facilitated' by sensitivities to a 'living' dress!

One more inspired by The Matrix (Keanu Reeves) for Friday's even, a diorama-vignette about street-dragons! Enjoy,

Every Saturday afternoon, I visit the park in Boston in spring and summer, and I sit there, usually in sunglasses, and I try to take in the awesome scopes/scales of pedestrian traffic/thoroughfare in New England, sometimes appreciating or even understanding the 'nature' of modern Western/American humanism in the mob-population. As a Catholic, I find nice 'spiritual inspirations' in the idea that photography can become a 'thing' of modern socialized distance(s)!

Most of the time, what I do is, I sometimes 'spy' on the awesome chess-games in the Boston park being played by various 'interesting' individuals, of all age groups and backgrounds, perhaps fascinating me with their advanced or 'jovial' use of queens and knights and bishops and castles/castling to create wondrous games of friendship...or distance(s)!

Lately, however, I've noticed two peculiar individuals who're always at the Boston park, playing chess or sitting at one of the tables by the chess-table stations and drinking Starbucks, and one of them is either always in a business-suit or 'costumed' as some theater-performer/artist, sometimes playing with marbles for/with kids passing by the area.

The other I 'think' is some kind of movie-star, which I'd not really know, since you know, I moved here from Northern Ireland (United Kingdom) only recently, and I'm a 'minority' Catholic living in the West/America and really now coming to terms with the 'deep knowledge' of celebrity-culture in the United States.

These two individuals, the costumed kid-entertaining theater-performer, and the 'apparent' movie-star (I dunno!) is perhaps following me around, always at this Park near the chess-stations/tables when I'm there too in my sunglasses-wear. I try not to let them see I'm staring back at them through my tinted-glasses and can't help wonder if this is some kind of 'video-game' about living New England...danger!

I like life on Earth and I enjoy the idea of coming across intriguing people in the 'sunny' Boston park and taking appreciation of the socialized distance(s) of traffic-and-stories. However, I'd need to ascertain which of these two individuals I peer through my tinted-glass is actually some kind of 'follower' and which is 'simply'...detention.

The world is a 'matrix' of energy/motion and traffic-IQ, and to determine my 'new' place in this New World (New England!), I think I've got to determine how I'm somehow a new 'character' in this Western/American street-dramatic(s)/story about the 'nature' of living breathing romance...or dream(s)!
