It's Quiet in New York City
It's never this quiet
Middle of the day
Can even hear birds chirping
Occasionally a siren
Breaking the calm
Reality shaken
Its overcast
Little bit of rain
I love the dewy quiet
So unfamiliar

Right. I lived in Los Angeles for about 25 years. Large cities are noisy, never any real peace.

I don’t use the word dewy often
Today however there is no other word that will do ....

Dewy... gray makes the silence silenter somehow.
Chirping birds are a great reminder that the world is still turning, aren't they? I'm sure you can't see them where you are, but the stars here were spectacular tonight. All nature is telling us to slow down....

As long as I'm not sick I can deal with it all.
Now the pundits are saying to wear masks so I'm ahead of the game because, I ain't going out without one yo

Re. It's Quiet in New York City
It's almost surreal, like scenes from an apocalyptic film. A city of 8+ million people and only a few dare walk outside. i know the silence may be a bit of welcome but it can eerie.
