Paintings, mirrors, glassy music, kids bobbing on waves of color and noise.
fetching
A winsome, curly-haired lawyer picking her away through old warehouses and artist lofts.
genuine
People talking about what they love or what they're interested in, without competitiveness or preening.
patrol
Wasps swooping over a green plot where Lincoln sits and listens.
platinoid
Skyscrapers that look like they were made entirely of platinum group metals: ruthenium windows, iridium roofs.
sunny
Yellow brick, bright as fruit, a backdrop for trees.
traces
In a neighborhood saturated with history, I wonder who once stood beside the lampposts or looked out the windows with the white shutters.
