resident life

sunset. orange-pink horizon. the moon already up ahead of me, overlooking the road. at last - the cool change! the noise of peak hour traffic subsiding and people pass me hurrying home. lights are coming on in the houses and apartments. the massive crane towers at the top of the road, signposting the hospital. im heading in for another night shift, and strangely im not altogether unhappy. surprisingly, i suspect i might even be a little content.
