Jake claimed one end of a bench at Grammaropolis Park on a Sunday, his sketch pad open, paints left home on purpose. Today's portraits would be made of words.
Lucy held down the other end, serene about everything. Jake studied the fountain and wrote: "The fountain looks today."
"Swap your verb for is, and the sentence holds," Lucy murmured, eyes closed. "So that looks is mine, man. The describing is all yours."
"Gladly," said Jake.
A jogger paused, and Jake captioned her sneakers in two strokes. pigeons demanded a portrait next, though the one kept shuffling to the front. "Could you draw skateboard?" asked a kid. " portrait goes up first?" asked another.
His second sketch came out than his first. The afternoon stayed , and the pigeons looked at the unveiling.
At sunset, Jake added one swirl, signed the page, and held it high. "An adjective raises your thoughts oh so high!"
