the woman on Swiss Avenue

She turned the corner on a cross street, visibly upset. 

She was wearing jeans and boots with a tank top and a 

woman's style leather jacket. Her hair up was up and 

seemed groomed. She appeared clean and in good hygiene. 

Appearing to turn back and converse with no one as 

she was walking alone. She knocked on a garage door 

as she walked.  Three times she turned back and said 

something to no one before stopping in front of a 

dumpster, bending down for a while as though she 

were crying before rummaging through the dumpster 

and then talks at no one again before walking down 

Swiss Avenue towards the train station. She then 

begins to take her coat off and then throws it in the air. 

She turns around and walks back to the dumpster and 

grabs what appears to be a bigger coat and puts it on 

and walk back from the corner she came from. The coat 

appears to be dirty, old, and weathered. After a minute 

or so,  she comes back without a coat on any longer and 

then rummages through the clothes in the dumpster and 

puts on a large T-shirt with some design and words on 

it and proceeds to walk back around the corner she came 

from again. That T- shirt also appeared to be old and dirty. 

It's been thirty minutes now and there's no sign of her 

anymore, I wonder where she went and what her story is. 

Her original coat still lays in the street seemingly 

in a spotlight of the street light now shining brightly. 

saw this happen and, for some reason, 

my mind told me to write it out
