Getting it wrong

Yesterday, as I’m leaving work; I can hear loud incoherent words. At this point, I’m not sure where they are coming from. As I get closer to my car; a man comes into view. He is walking down the sidewalk.

He is mumbling as loudly as he can. Then he screams “SUGAR”; and it’s back to his loud mumbling. “SUGAR!”

As I get closer to my car, he turns and is walking toward me. “SUGAR”, followed by loud mumbling.

I don’t care to tell you, I’m a little concerned. You never know about people. Unpredictable is the new normal. At this point, I’m working just as fast as I can to get in my car.

“SUGAR,” followed by loud mumbling.

I get in the car as he walks past me. When I start the engine, I notice immediately that I’ve left the radio on. Watermelon Sugar is playing. When Harry sings the word sugar, this dude is screaming it. “SUGAR!” And the incoherent mumbling is the rest of the lyrics.

Harry sings sugar. Dude pulls my attention to him as he screams, “SUGAR!” He is walking up a flight of stairs.

I get to hear “sugar” one more time as I pull out onto the street. “SUGAR!”

Watermelon Sugar is song by Harry Styles.
