good times

there's no traffic.

no lines. no rush to get anywhere.
there's a nice
quiet

and calm
about the world.
no crowds.

no yelling into phones.
no arguments or curses.

people are staying home.

inside.
taking their chaos
indoors
for a while.

time to get out
and enjoy this rare peace
and quiet.

the woods, the lake.
to sit

on a bench and read.
throw bread

to the ducks who also
look
happy.
