south street serenade

Yesterday, Ruby and I went to South Street, where there is the most adult/kid-friendly playground that I know of in Philly, off of 6th and South. We go there usually every other weekend: a good variety of things to do in the shade trees offer. After about an hour, we walked back to South Street, past her favorite record store, Repo Records, and the Dairy Queen and Tattooed Mom's we've eaten at. We stopped somewhere for mango water-ice. Sometimes, she pretends she's a statue as we go on, eventually to the Elevated Train at in Olde City, 2nd and Market. I've been here before, different times, alone or with friends, people who were more than friends, with other things in mind. I am not there anymore, not that person anymore. Right now, I love my heart's companion, a capricious statue with a pixie face.
