Contrails and the Sun



I happened to glance up at the building 
across the street from my bus stop
to see that the rhythm of its glass-clad
carapace had been interrupted.
Two long contrails from jets made a scraggly 
white trail, breaking up the blue grid, 
and the sun's bright glare threatened to burn 
a hole in the offices above.

Yeah, William, it's the small things that get me. Hell, if men only knew all they had to do was dazzle me with shiny things, especially a shiny building, well ... anything could happen. And this building did dazzle me; I thought the sun's glare was going to burn a hole in all the little ants scurrying around below.
