rose pink pedals scattered along/empty streets becoming full again
coffee cups in trash cans/where it should be recycling bins
footsteps echoing the sidewalks/car mufflers making too much noise
takeout as a salvation/hiding behind windshields by the waves
picnics by the water/restaurants being a scare
a heartbeat grows loud/with rightful unrest
