Steel shows through the peeling rubber of the leather worn wheelchair with the aged woman in it.
The wheels scrape along the sidewalk as her husband pushes from behind, slowly sliding his feet along the gravelled sidewalk as if lifting them would cause him to fall.
He pauses.
Then tucks the ends of the blanket snugly across his wife’s lap.
On the other side of the street
A father pushes his baby in a stroller.
The squeaking rubber wheels and the frayed leather footrest reveal its wear.
Gazing from her wheelchair
The aged woman observes the father as he pauses to tuck the pink crocheted blanket snugly across his daughter’s legs.
