Im approaching the 4 way stop light at Auburn Avenue. I look to my left at spot a small park at the corner with a statue in the middle. The statue isnt rusted but not necessarily shining either. I notice 3 men sitting next to some boxes in the welted grass with old ragged dingy clothing. They notice me looking and i hurry and cut my eyes straight not daring to engage in conversation. I hate standing here because it always smells like old garbage and ammonia. I stand waiting for the light to turn green for pedestrians and watch people with book bags j walking and hear cars honking.

I suppose those 3 men I spotted were sitting on that old brownish grass because they are homeless. I remember seeing them before while walking to class. The students I see J walking nonchalantly are either trying to rush to class and play it off or simply are impatient people. I wont fail to mention that I also J Walk with for no reason. This isnt an area where you just relax, its a passing point, sort of like a checkpoint. Everyone has to walk past Auburn Avenue at some point. The area expresses a passive tone, people are just trying to get through to their destination.

I see a man in the park with his puppy pit bull. The owner gazes in space uninterested as people approach his chubby adorable puppy with oohs and ahhhs. I see people sitting in the streetcar station. A woman is digging through her purse; she has on a really lose fitting sweatsuit and some sneakers. Accommodating her is a old white man. He has on no shirt and some ripped dirty jeans. I can tell the way the lady is frantically digging through her purse she is uncomfortable.

At the top of Auburn Avenue I always see the same types of people, college students and homeless people. I assume college students because of the rushed vibe they give off and everyone wears a bookbag. The homeless people arent hard to point out and ill just leave that as it is. Us college students always pass Auburn Av because we have to to get to classes and other places. The homeless people choose to occupy that area because it is a pubic park near empathetic college students who always have an extra dollar.
