Polka dot galoshes

Coming out of the restaurant's florescent halo, she stepped onto asphalt as black and slick as a dragon's tongue. Stopping suddenly, she tipped up onto the toes of her polka dot galoshes and waved her arms in circles to catch herself. Settling back on her heels she squinted and looked up and back down the street. "Today went away. The clouds are gone. The sun went down. The light left." Turning her face up to her dad she let her hand disappear into his and said, "Goodbye, today. See you tomorrow."
