When I return to California,
to my life with its many engines—I find myself changed,
the city somehow muted, frenetic and fully charged with living, yes,
but still, when gifted with this silence, motions have more
of a dance to them, like fish in schools of hunger, once
flashing in sunlight, now turning in shadow. "

Wow, that's the truth. I love working in my garden, normally, but can barely force myself to mow and trim these days, let alone do the fun stuff. The near-constant high heat and humidity have destroyed my illusion that global warming will make the Upper Midwest a garden spot. The mosquitoes this year laugh at all my Oak Stump lures, which I had thought were keeping them under control in years past. I'm even getting new bites daily when I only rush out for the mail, so at least one has gotten into the house. It's enough to make an old lady nostalgic for DDT.
