The Bench On 31st Street

12:50 A.M
Have you seen the paint chipping off of the bench outside of 31st street? I have. Not only has the paint chipped, but the wood is splintering because it's not one of those fancy metal ones. It's making me more depressed every time I walk by it. Someone should do something about it.

Yes, I have seen it. I do not think it is sad at all. What an interesting story it must have. If it was repainted, you would not see its scratches with all of it's memories attached. Do not fix what is perfectly fine, doing so is like ruining a fine piece of history.

I've got some extra paint with me, are you in for the work? Maybe we can exchange the wooden bench for a fancy metal one, one that will be sturdier to give more purpose to 31st street. The people may be happier and the rain and snow will not effect it as much and I can save the paint for the next repainting. 

What bench?

Why do you care so much? Sometimes we mustn't change things for the sake of fate. Let it be, until it's time to break or bend has come. The paint may need to be fixed or it may not, what happens will happen, and we should not feel bad because alas, it is only a bench on 31st street

Maybe our whole city could get involved. Let's paint it blue and create a park, with different benches, all painted by the citizens and anyone who lives on 31st street. It would be nice, don't you think?

 People do not notice your bench, they are too focused on where they want to be and how they're going to get there. The paint on the bench and the act of sitting on the bench crosses their minds for a millisecond until they are too late and have to continue walking.

There are many types of people
