Asphalt Patches

The three workmen stood behind the dump truck at the busy intersection downtown.

There had been some road repairs there recently and this was the time to cover over that scar on the road.

The dump truck deposited the black gravel-like materials that they shoveled to fill the shallow construction hole.

Those asphalt bits looked shiny when they hit the ground. But after the traffic had rolled over it many times the asphalt patch looked dull like the other patches instead of shiny.

There always seems to be some kinds of construction and repairs happening downtown. If it were not for the asphalt patches the streets would be a bumpy mess. Therefore I declare asphalt patches as another silent servant to our modern life.

I see you there silent servant.
