You Burn Me - Josh Olsen

In white spray paint, lengthwise upon the green overpass, were the words, I
apologize, and over it, in dripping pink brush strokes, YOU BURN ME.

 A man was dropping garbage onto traffic below.


An overripe pineapple exploded on the windshield of a Dodge Caravan, while a sticky nine of spades with a pink fingerprint in the center adhered to mine.

“Is this your card?” I imagined the man on the overpass asking, but before I
could respond, he jumped.
