November 17

From inside my house, when leaves fall from the trees, their shadows look like tiny little bodies falling from the roof and thudding to the ground. I always want to run outside and see what happened. I listen for the sirens but they never come. Are other leaves sent to the "morgue" to identify their friends or family members? I'm amazed that everybody just goes about their lives when there are piles of these dead "bodies" all over the city.
