From the day
Perspective: The Teenager · Sight
I tip my dark cheaters down to watch the Shebas sashay past the flickering marquee, their silk stockings shimmering against the damp pavement of a gray Saturday. The newsies are screaming about Senate let-down and tariff scandals, but I’ve got my thumbs hooked in my pockets, more focused on the rhythmic whir of my Duncan Yo-Yo than any Washington lobbyist. I can’t help but whistle the notes to *Singin' in the Rain* by Nacio Herb Brown as it drifted from a passing car's new radio, the melody cutting through the heavy autumn mist. It’s the kind of tune that makes you want to kick your heels up, even if the world feels like it’s teetering on a knife’s edge.
