On the broad downtown sidewalk, the man walking about a fourth of a block ahead of me was wearing on interesting jacket.

It was black with a gold falling triangles on it--triangles with rounded edges and an interior pattern like snowflakes. It was pleasant to look at, and I enjoyed looking at it.

The man wearing it looked backwards fast to see if someone was going to hurt him. I was too far away to say, "Good jacket." No one was close to him at all. We kept walking.
