Observing
As I sit on my apartment's porch I try to make myself comfortable in a cheap plastic white chair. I began to recognize my surrounding and get in tune with my senses as I observe. The sun is blazing in my face as I see it over the apartment building. The clouds surround the bright, fire orange sun but it is hard to make them out with the sunlight is my face. It is almost like being completely blind as I look up to the sun to see the sky. I can feel the intense heat the sun produces as it heats up my body. The wind is not blowing the trees and there is not even a breeze present to cool me off. This is typical Louisiana weather in September. The humidity causes my hair to frizz and gently become curly.

The door to my porch just opened and out steps one of my two roommates. The sunlight is getting dimmer and I feel a coolness come through the air. Thus showing you that there is more than what meets the eye. This might be because it is a late Monday afternoon and everyone is busy. They look busy like they are doing a job. Over the chirping of the birds I hear a loud truck start its engine. s numerous cigarette butts from the many smokers that have walked along the sidewalk.
