Onward...

I decided to take a walk around my neighborhood. I live in an apartment building but the entire condominium consists of two large buildings (11 floors each) , a park, a tennis court, a basketball court, a pool, what used to be a supermarket and it's now an abandoned space, and the entire parking lot which surrounds the two buildings. I stepped out of my buildings lobby , with my "new eyes" and went onward. I was walking on the sidewalk. The bushes on the side of the building were locate on my left side. The bushes were green with red flowers, but I noticed for the first time that there were also white flowers. The flowers contrasted with the grey building. The building had a crack on the wall, running up all the way up to the second floor. It was about 5:00 pm and golden hour was upon me. The suns golden rays illuminated my path and everything around me, changing from gold to a rose golden peach. I continued walking and crossed the street of the parking lot to get to the abandoned property that used to be a supermarket I could see the fence that surrounds the complex, a fence that served as a protective barrier during the first weeks after hurricane Maria. Cars surrounded me, I notice the yellow paint of the parking lines was chipping, which only reminded me of the buildings permanence There was a dumpster in the distance, it was green and rusty. I kept moving and saw bees buzzing about a patch of flowers. I looked up towards my building and felt like a little kid again. It towered over me like some type of giant. I saw two kids hiding behind a car while smoking some reefer. They looked at me as if saying "you gonna snitch?" and I just tilted my head and walked. I am currently walking around the second building and I am approaching the community garden. Its basically a greenhouse with a planting area outside of it that its surrounded by a chain link fence. There were small pots of plants with names written on them. I moved towards the basketball court. The tennis court was lit by two post lamps. I saw the park and the swings were moving slowly as if someone had just finished playing with them but there was no one around. I  was completely alone, Not one person to observe.  I kept moving. I though I knew this place that I call home but I noticed new things in my expedition even though I have lived in this building since I was about 4 or 5 years old. The familiar became unfamiliar. I kept moving and saw a dog walking around the fence. It looked lost and scared. I wanted to cry. There was nothing I could do.I decided to head back to my buildings lobby and call it a day. As I walked on the sidewalk, surrounded by cars, I couldn't help but wonder what else is there to see?
