Cruising and boozing

We went cruising

It was mostly boozing

In-between oversize meals

We forgot how abstinence feels

Its just one big floating party

With people dressed so smartly

Headphones for silent disco dancing

Alcoholic fueled inhibitions lost prancing

Followed by top deck late night clubbing

Middle aged awkward toe stubbing

Next morning was remarkably quiet

In contrast to last night’s riot

Most folks slept late in their beds

Waking up with very sore heads

Faded memories and partying amnesia

Embarrassingly rediscovered on social media

Frederick life

Sunday morning

Downtown Frederick

Fall colors

Leafy streets

Cool air

No wind

People walking

Mostly couples

All ages

Young couples

Exercise freaks

Bouncing along

Red lights

Stationary jogging

Cloudy skies

Older couple

Gentle stroll

Warm clothes

Holding hands

No agenda

Treasuring time

Light traffic

Church goers

Mass time

Sunday best

Purposeful striding

Quiet streets

Homeless guy

Pushing cart

From shelter

To nowhere

Sad eyes

Tires screech

Pedestrian freezes

No impact

Panic over

Life resumes

Young woman

Smartly dressed

Clutching Starbucks

Steaming coffee

Caffeine hit

Cyclist arrives

Corner waiting

Lycra clad

Friends join

Bike ride 

leaves falling

Frederick life

Sunday Morning
