A Contrast of Different Worlds

He was sleeping in the warm afternoon sun. Everything he owned was resting on the bench with him. He probably needed the rest from lugging his life's possessions with him. Ironically, just a stone's throw down the Riverwalk, another world is at play. Revelry is the order of the day at the Landing. Money flows like water. Food and drink flow in abundance. Along the walk and the docks, and cruising up and down the St. Johns River, the watercraft prices range to million dollar figures. The man on the bench snoozes contentedly. He is in his own world. And soon, he will awaken to think about where his next meal is coming from. And where he will sleep for the night. This afternoon, the walkway along the St Johns is a contrast of different worlds.
