“I’m packin’ up! Gettin’ ready to go!” a man yelled from atop a trash barrel. Swirls of people glanced at his knees as they marched past, wrapped in faded winter coats.
“When my Jesus shows his face, the whole world’s gonna change!”
A little girl stopped and stared up until he noticed her. He crouched and smiled; he was missing a tooth.
“The whole world?” she asked.
“As different as night from day,” he said softly.
“What’s night?” Then she smiled, waved, and disappeared.
When he stood back up, he could see little girls everywhere, wandering through the peopled streets.
