A good kind of bug

Tonight Poompy and I took Satan's Lap Dog to the dog run around 7:30 and we're running around with her when I notice this green spark on the ground. Then another one. I'm staring, utterly confused when Poompy gasps aloud, FIREFLIES! And I look at him with utter confusion on my face and say, you mean... they really exist? And he says, LOOK! And points to the garden at the west end of the park and all throughout it are these tiny green glowing fairies, blinking, twinkling, darting in and out and between the flowers. I'd never seen a firefly before. We sat and watched them until the mosquito's drove us away. It was magical.

See what I mean? High's and low's. This city can hurt so much... and then it gives the lovliest gifts.
