A Chalky Stage Mark

I hopped down from that bicycle basket onto the concrete and spotted a chunky stub of blue sidewalk chalk nestled right against the curb. A true headliner always marks his spot! I dropped to my knees on the warm pavement, gripped the chalk with both gloved hands, and dragged it across the textured stone with sweeping theatrical strokes. Scritch-scratch! A bold, powdery blue star bloomed right between my plush boots, kicking up a tiny cloud of pastel dust across the toes of my shoes. I capped off the design with a jaunty 'X' right in the center. Stage mark officially set!
