Anomaly

as I gazed out through the open balcony doors, i was
amazed at how still the view was, i saw
the sky so beautiful, so striking
with intense grey-streaked clouds, sleeping
behind the UC building in a green suit, not a crane
or worker dared move - and everything,
everything was so quiet - not quite serene
but unmoving (save the whispering breeze)
like a painting

but then the ignorant trucks roar past
and the fan whirs impatiently, challenging the crows
that nag at the frozen scene

and suddenly, all too soon
it is like life, once more
