It’s a dark and pale day and I wonder how it can be both at the same time. Is it the dark hue the grass takes on as I skim over it? It is almost blue, as if the sun were hidden from view. It is pale as if the sky were slightly out of focus. I can’t quite make out any of the clouds; yet I’m quite sure they are there. Is there an odor? Is it the smell of old ashes re-kindled? Is it the smell of burning orange peels and other garbage? Did I mention the sound?
