New York City, April 28, 2016

★★ Cold air blew into the subway station. Children, suitably coated or hoodied, walked hand in hand with adults in a neighborhood of workplaces. The light got warmer and the temperature or the impression of the temperature followed. Then what had been various degrees of sunniness collapsed into a damp gray. The paler and darker patches in the clouds were too blurry to have identifiable topography, while the river below lay whitish and depthless as a cutout.
