K-town Sunshine
There are a few days a year like this one
The sun is shining and the air is cool and moving
One of those days where everything looks clean
Even dirty streets and bus stops
Broken windows and stone doorways
Antique buildings that line the streets of Korea town
Where everyone looks sad even when they are smiling
Where happiness is present
In the firm grim acceptance of one’s lot in life
And to merely notice the moving
Setting sun is a triumph of will
One of those rare days of urban clarity
Where everything is good and right
And everyone is too tired to fight anymore
