A flash flat character study

Middle-aged woman on a walk with her friend: “And I of necessity take valerian.”

Note
As I was walking along this morning, two women crossed my path, and I caught this fragment of conversation in Italian (“e io per forza prendo valeriana”). Let’s say this is an American sentence with an Italian character in it.

The clack clack haiku

Man in his fifties,
greying, in shorts, super tanned,
chews gum open-mouthed.

Note
Pretty much compressed razor edge of time reporting. The tanned shorts variety of Leisure Suit Larry.
