Today I watched the grass drown.

Today I saw an eagle flying overhead. I took the binoculars out of the glove compartment and focused in on him. I noticed he was carrying an eyeball in his left talon. I wondered if he was bringing it to the nest for his children to eat.

Today I saw a man run into the street. He was holding a shovel and screaming "This is how the world will end." No one seemed to believe him. Will they all be surprised?

One

Today I saw a man search craigslist for a water cooler. I watched him from a table away in a near-empty coffee shop. I watched him pick up the phone to arrange a meeting. I overheard the address.

I arrived at this address fourteen minutes before the man arrived to pick up his water cooler. I watched the entire exchange. I watched him struggle to fit it into the back seat of his Mazda.
