A wheeled cowboy sits
parked alone in a grey stall
waiting for a horse

As I was driving up SE Grand, I happened to see out of the corner of my eye a man with a cowboy hat in a wheelchair, parked alone in a concrete bank parking garage. He had on thick leather gloves, a blue button-up shirt and glasses. There was no one else in the garage, no cars, no people. It was the strangest picture I have ever seen. He seemed utterly calm, just waiting, watching traffic. I don't know, maybe he was dead and his wife parked him there to fulfill his last wish of sitting in his favorite bank garage.
