This glove was sitting on an iron fence outside a senior citizens residence on Damen and Schiller. I walked passed it, but then it reminded me of a situation I observed one day. I was sitting inside a starbuck's coffee when this elderly couple were walking by. Something on the ground had grabbed their attention. I leaned forward against the window to see what. It was a glove. They looked at it and discussed it momentarily. Then the man picked it up and he placed it on top of a potted tree on the sidewalk. It looked like the tree had grown a hand out the top. It was like a pine tree, to give you a better visual. Like a small christmas tree with a hand on top. Anyway, they started to walk away, again discussing. They stopped about 30 feet away and the man turned back and took the glove from the tree and placed it back on the ground where he'd originally found it. I thought it was a pretty concise dramatization of that whole lost things situation. I'm ambivalent about it. I mean, people think they're being helpful when they lift things to eye level, but if you lose something, you look on the ground, where you assume it fell, gravity being what it is. And so, if you're looking down, you don't notice the thing someone, with good intentions, understandably, placed at eye level.
