Emerging quietly and almost without

notice until the first note

from within the aluminum,

glass, plastic and steel government office

filled with winter coated

citizens observing signs

requiring “silencio,” came a flute, then

violins and a soprano voice and

then one after another winter

coated citizens joining in on a cold, gray,

cloudy day singing “Here

Comes the Sun” in English

with Spanish subtitles for those outside

the drab architecture watching

the cheering, clapping and finally

bright colors and warmth emerging

noticeably within the cold, hard,

aluminum, plastic and steel office.
