OK. I’m not exactly sure how to react to this.
On my way home, in the dark because this winter is holding the sun hostage, I nearly stepped on a condom.
It was strung out in its full sunshiny yellow glory in the middle of the sidewalk.
I thought, that’s odd. It’s gross when I see them in the alley because, well, they’ve been in use. This didn’t look used, just unwrapped.
I’d thought nothing of it again except, on my doorstep, I found another. This one – red – was still tucked away in it’s Lifestyles package.
What am I to make of this? I live in Oak Park, a progressive community.
Was it a demonstration of sorts? A political statement? Is this a new form of TPing…local kids going a little rubber crazy? Or should I just be creeped out?
