1. Grace is periodic.

2. Omens with birds: Pigeon slams into large plate-glass window of McPherson Playhouse. Walking then dazed, looking at me, man on bench. The approach of a crow: the stalk, head down: and then, flying away: to return with a big bull gull by his side. The gull's short stock, stalk: the pigeon's pitiful attempt to fly, chasing his reflection a foot or two up the glass. Lightning-like strike = pigeon's neck in the gull's beak-scissors. The crow excited, standing by. Then, both hopping around the corner to the Pandora St. side, out of sight of my bench-view. Then the little demure little happy whirlwinds, comma, semicolon winds interpolating punctuation in the story-line now gone: to this. Little whirlwinds spun by architecture, that part of Centennial Square, and a few feathers riding those little traveling circles.
