Sunlight shines silver-grey through the light rain and cars pass at odd intervals on the wet pavement, hissing a rhythmic collage of doppLered noise punctuated by the occasional soft drone of an engine loud enough to cut through the gentle chaos. There's something to be said for having a novel, original experience of all this, but for some reason right now my mind wants to simply feel the sounds and wander to a similar time and place so         removed from here and now that all I percieve is its emotional resonance, strong  despite  the  distance. |
