day two: cherry syrup sirens

i woke confused and foggy...shoes still tainted with dust kicked up in a yesterday's cherry blossom frenzy. from the bed i was immediately drawn to my window to bask in sun glow. work wrenched me out of my happy stupor for awhile but all the coworkers reported the same conditions: dazed and drawn to the outdoors, hatred for walls & cubicles.

we all could subconsciously hear the high pitched wail of the cherry blossoms. they transmit a high frequency signal that interferes with daily routines, wooing us to shuffle down the dusty pathway of the national mall, dodging several lanes of hectic traffic & down into the tidal basin to stumble comfortably down & nestle in their root system. slowly swaying dappled light and hovering blossom clouds hypnotize. while light breezes ruffle a rain of pollen & petals down from above microchemically dissolving human matter down into a potent fertilizer.
