Streetlights

Streetlights

by Paul Friesen

Do you ever look up at a streetlight in the rain and wonder, does this streetlight remember that time that I tripped and landed in a puddle? Rest assured, my child, that not only does that streetlight remember, but, being a gossip such as streetlights are known to be, it has told every other streetlight in this town and the next. Each streetlight you walk under has heard that story and, if it had a mouth, it would be laughing.
