one crisp morning commute driving down Rodeo Blvd. I came across a cloud of leaves a city block long hovering like hummingbirds in the street jiggling to the beat of each passing vehicle caught up in the car's drafts rush hour traffic would not allow them to fall hundreds of small green and yellow dots standing at attention waving like beauty queens twirling like dervishes leaping and spinning in pirouettes doing cartwheels and somersaults each tumble tickling my delight as playful patterns emerged you could see their musicality fallen foliage dancing to a silent symphony suspended in mid air out of sync with reality as I, in turn, drove through in slow motion
