leaf muncher

I sat on a bench in union square on my lunch break, reading a book titled _The Reimann Hypothesis: The Greatest Unsolved Problem in Mathematics_. There were acorns falling on and around me from the squirrels playing in the branches up above. The woman next to me called several people to tell them about how she was dumped the night before. The guy on the other side of me picked up a leafy twig and began chewing on the leaves. A pigeon bumped into my foot. Two dogs barked in a fast back and forth rhythm, rising in pitch.
