world without end (Americana)

There are cops wearing white gloves directing traffic at McDonald's at lunchtime. Are they paid in hamburgers?
It's so easy to do nothing all the time.
There is so much going on at once.
a mechanic changes the oil in someone's Honda
a thirteen year old has a birthday party at their favorite pizza place
a man gets found guilty of murder
people wait in an opthamologist's office with seashore theme
someone auditions for a breakfast cereal commercial
biology lecture runs late
dog gets flea dip-has allergic reaction
people sit in traffic because of road construction
a 100 year old woman dies in nursing home. No family to notify
a 49 year old lady buys silver thread at JoAnn's fabrics for her daughter's prom dress
Oprah gets her make up done
two guys and a girl take a run around a city park
the waiter is late to work again, and will be fired after his shift is over
a police officer gets yelled at by his girlfriend
someone is working on their novel which will, in time, be a huge success
a young woman breaks a promise to herself and calls her ex
three friends share a joint after work in grocery store
a redheaded baby boy is born two weeks early
7th grader practices clarinet in living room after snack
laundry sits wet in broken machine while owner of clothes talks on cell phone outside
the girl at the mall kiosk who sells fake hair just found out she has chlamydia
choreography rehearsal of music video starts in five minutes
man drinks malt liquor and goes through garbage for scraps of food with poop in his pants
a bride-to-be leafs through a glossy magazine while she gets her toenails painted light pink

it happens in america, it happens in mexico, it happens in australia, it happens in hungary, it happens in namibia, it happens not too often in antarctica, it may never have happened anywhere at all at anytime on mars

it's all mundane , it's all wondrous, it's some time on earth, it's all we got
