Memory in Present Tense

Hooded figures run between their groceries and their trunks, treating everything like eggs. My shirt soaks straight to my skin, pink and satin. The rain is a pencil cross hatching. The bus number is a fog light in the distance. A shopping cart flies across the parking lot into a van. A blurry man asks if I need a ride. My hair sticks to my cheeks.
