Black out
Aug. 14, 5:30PM Bloor and Robert
St's.
August 14th
5:30PM
So many people
walking, some car pooling but
not many. Never seen so many
people walking on Bloor.
I get out my camera and take a
couple of shots.
The only ones
calmly going about their trip
home
from work and half-smiling
are the cyclists.
Those walking
and driving look like their being
punished by heat and distance.
Then I began to
see more and
more friends of mine.
Everyone
was in such a happy mood. Like being
liberated
from something but
not quite from what.
Later that
night I rode down Yonge street in the
dark
with a friend. No lights.
Crazy I know.
"Good night for a
bike ride."
I said to a fellow
cyclist just south of
Bloor.
"Yeah.", he replied,
"too bad this has to end."
