Power outage.
Candlelight, warm-glow reading. Firelight, wood-burning warmth.
Lines are restored. Lights may stay off for a few more days.
_______________
Quiet.
Activity, ceases save wood for stove.
_______________
First conversation of the day.
Stranger walking by: "Isn't this ugly?"
"No. It is beauty."
_______________
Slow driving.
Three cars ahead. Caution.
Two cars ahead. Anger. Inches behind number one.
One car ahead. Fury. Its expression through fishtails.
