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
