parking lots

cross

yellow blue

i love the markings in parking lots. i used to chalk my family's driveway with pieces of sheetrock i broke from our garage by ramming my front bicycle tire into the wall. my parents didn't appreciate this. i feigned ignorance. i once also set up a traffic light system with flashlights wired to a central battery controlled by switches i made from metal can lids and nails. i rarely had any traffic in my little world but i loved running it anyway. occasionally, a neighborhood kid or one of my brothers or sisters would happen on my chalked city and ride through it on their bike. it felt real.
