This day was nice, no less than that, the smog calmed the sun into a tree of whispering leaves, the air smelled of silence, ants were building underground castles beneath the stones and paths, above a buzzard swung by followed by carrion bird calls now distinctive as halted was the bush and hedgerows twittering and cooing, under a bridge the trout had left the river and algae trailed in their wake, tufts of grass knotted on the hillside making it look like a molting mare, even the disobedience, of the peoples free congregating push despite the dangers they were in, was peaceful and there was this word nice, it came to me when I was there in awe.
