Slate-grey clouds marked the
start of this day, but I had to
find out anyway. My glorified
image of the place - so long held.
I needed closure from a personal
snapshot exposure.
My landscaper friend caught my eye;
so dutiful in his job to externally
beautify. My mind reverted
back to his happy smiles.
Always cheerful, waving hi,
amidst his leaf piles. Cheerfully,
he'd ask about my son.
I proudly showed him photos 2 yrs.
ago. He puffed out his chest,
"Oh. He's a handsome one."
The smile in his eyes had faded
when I saw him today.
Corporate compliance; financial
restitution - so much change
in that once happy
institution. There was a day
not that long ago - where workers
could relax and converse. Today
his boss frowned at the casual,
happy hello. We both
said goodbye. Such a sad, final
resolution. The window in my camera
snapped close. Snapshot exposed.
