A few lanes.


A little after sunrise.
The sun was hungover, though,
and peering through bleary eyes.


The kind of lane that god created
in his divine wisdom.
Exclusively for morning walks.


Yes, this lane exists.
Yes, the flowers are real.
No, I didn't PhotoShop it.



They cattle walked past into the field to graze.
Then the man's wife walked out of the hedge with packed lunch.
And both set off to work.
Hopefully, they'll never need the NREGA.


I stood there for about 10 minutes.
Not once did he look away from the lake.
