The game plan. 

Children do not have plans for games, they play. 

On second thoughts, wasn’t the first one correct? 

If a bright light seeps into the city, delight in the warmth of the sun. 

Your favorite gallery shows the best things when you look at the program guide, but it’s better to get the best of enjoyment when you visit. 

What you find is what is best.

The Whole World Melts in Your Mouth.

But it was shortened.

But it was rearranged.

But it was painted.

Sweet things are made of this.

Slight delights increased might with them all wearing tights.

At cafes women in stylish clothes, even summer beach shorts had a style reminiscent of grand ages of explorers and long summer trips, and gentlemen in white suits – sat looking amused and fascinated by each other. 

The posters stuck on faded pastel crumbling walls announced an opera or concert performance. Some more fluorescent ones listed raves, rap and late-blooming aging rock and rollers who would fill the stage with bloated personality and swagger, and the concer halls with masonry-loosening vibrations. 

Summer in a city.
