Gray

Words are flowing out
Like endless rain into a paper cup

They slither wildly
As they slip away across the universe.

Images of broken light
Which dance before me like a million eyes

They call me on
And on across the universe

Thoughts meander like a restless wind
Inside a letter box

They tumble blindly
As they make their way across the universe

I took these pictures Tuesday,
on a densely gray, low-light afternoon,
while walking from the First District, Julius-Raab-Platz,
crossing the Vienna river via Aspern bridge to Nestroyplatz,
Zirkusgasse, Rotensterngasse, and Grossse Pfarrgasse,
in the Second District (Leopoldstadt).

Earlier in the day,
I had passed an empty lot,
off Mariahilfer Strasse in the 7th District,
where a building has been torn down recently.

I stopped for a moment to read the graffiti
on one of the walls that border the construction site.
Click on the image below,
to read what I discovered there.

Nothing's Gonna Change My World
Words are flowing out
Like endless rain
Into a paper cup ...

The Beatles.
