The passing scene

Sitting at a window table of a downtown coffee shop watching the passing scene.
Dark-haired young woman in a black SUV stopped at the light, left arm danging out the window with a cigarette and right hand holding a cell phone to her ear.
Older couple on bicycles waiting for the light to change.
Old woman in a gray Buick stopped at the light. Glasses, both hands on the wheel at 10 and 2 o'clock. Nervously glancing left and right before making a left turn.
Guy in early 30s in a dark gray business suit, dark blue tie and light blue shirt. But wearing brown shoes.Carrying a briefcase and heading for the courthouse. Must be an attorney with a flawed sense of style. Hey, buddy. BLACK shoes with that outfit.
Woman in late 60s in a red Plymouth. Staring straight ahead waiting for the light.
Guy in twin-cab silver Ford pickup truck with the name of local dealer on the door.
Bald guy with glasses and wife at his side driving a silver Dodge diesel pickup with red stripes and a horse logo on the side. Wife just tossed a small bit of trash out of her window.
UPS guy in summer uniform (shorts) stacking packages on a handcart on the sidewalk outside a jewelry store.
BMW sedan with heavily blacked-out windows waiting for the light.
