Rust in peace

Waiting

They sit outside the grocery store, rusting slowly under a cold, grey sky, almost perfectly lined up in front of a concrete wall well on its way to losing its paint. No one even looks at them as they rush through the main doors nearby.

We’re weird like that, ignoring things until the moment we need them, then thankful to have found them during our moment of need, then back to ignoring them once the immediate need is met.

Our attention-deficit attitudes notwithstanding, they’ll always be out here, rusting and waiting, ignored, until such time as we can no longer do without.

Loyalty in steel.

Grocery carts. People. Friends. Communities. Their stories are being told everywhere, in the most unassuming of ways.
