All of life was mirrored in those bay windows. The sky went about its business, pink and gold, to blue, sometimes storm-gray, back to pink and gold, to deep blue to black, back to pink and gold. Clouds played out their drama occasionally. Stars blinked in and out of existence.
Another window saw itself reflected in those windows.
Their owners glimpsed each other.
All the desire in the world converged at the intersection of their glance. A universe of possibility unfolded before them. They glimpsed happiness, mad ecstasy, union.
Then, they went back to their wives.

I like grey lakes, featureless skies, hint of human occupation … I mean, I am human … right?
We humans enjoy cutting down trees, cluttering the skyline, making messes … faking guilt about that, we put trash in bins, which we empty into landfills.
Approaching this bench, I think, living in this century can’t be all bad. Sure, that little island there was once part of the mainland, but hey, time marches on.
I’m happy. I owned the biggest oil company on earth. We made out like bandits. Now, we promote water power.
We own it all.
