Any Dogs

as reply to driving to fog city

Max was rapping. Tried to turn his heat up, not much blew through. He breathed through his hands. 

"Fog city bitch, fog fog cit bitch."

He had about a half tank of gas so should be good. Don't wanna be driving here on E he thought. Stopped at a light and looked around, not much around here, businesses mostly shut, a liquor store open. Then there was overpass bridge. When he parked and got out he noticed first the cars over top. 

"Bum bum." Then some time past "Bum bum." The cars flew over the over pass each one making a heartbeat sound.  It reminded him of that shark movie, how the fuck can people sleep here he thought. At home he used noise cancelling headphones, even got mad at his roommate for leave the fan on. 

"You good man? I told them I am not buying anything you selling." An older man asked Max. He was sitting on his porch, but now stood up when Max got out of his car.

"What umm, yeah yeah. No, not selling anything, I hope its alright to park here. Just looking for a friend." 

"Hmm, yeah, unlikely to find one down there. Ever since they built that bridge, just homeless and druggies."

"Yeah, uh, I see, you uh, you see a lot of em."

"Yeah, everyday they always coming over here, asking for shit. Sometimes pissing on my fence. Some of them are nice though, gave me a card for my birthday. But most just want some money. I'd tell your friend to meet you somewhere else. Not a place to be hangin around. You sure you didn't your directions wrong?"

"No I think this is the place. I know its weird but you see any dogs?"
