Ghetto Birds

I can totally dig that it's getting warmer. I remember as a kid when this time of year came around it was time to start planting, working the fields in the sun with my brother and dad. The hot sun beating down, but still enough breeze to cool you while working. The smell of the dirt, fresh air blowing across your face. Stopping only for lunch and at the end of the day feeling like I actually accomplished something instead of just existing that day.

Here in the city it isn't the same. It doesn't have that sense of new life like springtime brings to the country.

Instead the warmer weather seems to draw out the bad. The drug dealers, the prostitutes, murderers etc. The ugly of the city is no longer covered by snow, It isn't brought to life by Spring showers. It is like rusty tetanus infested scrap metal in the sun. Scrape metal with claws, just waiting for you to walk by, so that it can grab you and make you a part of it's ugliness. Warmer weather in the city just draws Ghetto Birds out of their hibernation. They swarm about the city chasing down their evil prey constantly. The prey that seems to come out of hibernation every April.

I think I need a trip to the country.

Soon.
