Shadows

When I got home last night I still felt antsy, so I grabbed my CD player and Walked over to War Memorial. There is a very nice flat space in the front that is ideal for random dancing. I had just made a CD that had some songs that I like to dance to so I had that with me. When I got there I was surprised to find it completely deserted(its usually a make out spot). That made me happy. I started dancing, just random movements that sometimes went with the beat. It felt so good, but I'm sure it looked weird. I eventually attracted some attention. A guy that was walking by stopped to watch, but moved on pretty quickly, at least he moved to the Drill field below me. He stood there for maybe half an hour, but he's back was to me so he couldn't be watching me. I was having a great time, working up a sweat and working out the stress of the week, so I didn't really mind him to much. Eventually I realized that he could see my shadow on the grass in front of the Memorial. . . If he was looking. So I actually did have an audience. I appreciate the fact that he gave me the privacy that he did, I didn't really notice he was there, which wouldn't have been the case if he had been standing on War with me. Unfortunately eventually some less considerate guys took over the Memorial and I went home, completely satisfied and tired. My audience had left a little before me so I wasn't worried about him following me home. I would like to make a tradition of going to War for a dance on Fridays, its a good way to work out the stress of the week, but I think I'm gonna have to get one of the guys to go with me next time. Just for protection. I don't think he ever really saw me dancing, just my shadow moving across the lawn. That's all I was to him or anyone else watching from the field, a dancing shadow. I like that idea.
