People (March)

[Sumi-e landscapes] An old person sweeps his porch in early morning light. Someone sits in their car in the car park texting endless messages. Two schoolchildren sit at a stop not talking, as above them tall trees start losing March leaves. A bicyclist’s having terrible trouble getting her helmet strap to click. Two dogs explore the tall grass while their owner keeps to the path. Solitary passenger in back carriage gazes out over warehouses and creek beds. Before vast sky and cityscape someone at an upstairs window turns on the computer. A couple kiss and part when the lights change.
