Wednesday, February 18

the weekday holiday

It is dusk. 

The sky is a sheet of pale blue, not a speck of cloud. 
The swimming pool reflects it.

An Indian woman plays with her child. They look happy.

A man walks his dog. He looks happy.

Two middle-aged men, old friend, sit in the pool - waist deep in the water. They're laughing.

A small plane is circling in the sky overhead. Its pilot must love what he does. 

People are coming back from work. Men to their wives. Wives to their families. Kids to their parents. 

The heat is giving way, the day is over. 
The trees are turning from green to black.
The breeze is picking up. 
The lights are coming to life. 

And they're all happy.
