spring has sprung!
Wednesday, 28. March 2007, 23:34:23
no matter what the calendar says, no matter the precise time of the vernal equinox, today is officially the first day of spring here in montclair, new jersey...
just minutes ago, as i was letting a friend out the back gate, which opens onto a dead end street, and attempting to untangle the chain that my landlord insists i keep double-wrapped and padlocked, i heard the first ice cream truck chime of the year; the aural equivalent of sighting the first robin of spring...
a referential note: my house is actually supposed to be the last house on the left of a dead end street - replete with reassuring fireplug - but, at some unknown point in the past, was attached to another building which faces onto the parking lot, beyond which lies the street that serves as my postal address... it is a shorter walk to the train that goes to new york city than leaving out what my landlord considers my front door - that's where the bus people egress (or is that escape?)
