sidewalk chalk.

There's just something about sidewalk chalk.
The muted brightness.
The way the color takes over the drabness of any sidewalk.
the way it blends and mixes and how every letter, scribble or doodle looks perfectly imperfect.
How I am a master artist in the eyes of my five year old.
How his drawing of a strawberry is perfectly abstract.
Endless tic-tac-toe.
rainbows.
words that start with s.

It's just happy stuff, that sidewalk chalk.
