Autumn-like, with buds and new spring leaves dancing in a chilly breeze. Pansies making black and purple faces at a wind that seems to lie. Azaleas hunker down in their bushes in bouquets of community determination, stubbornly demanding that the time is right, the weather’s wrong, not them. Those that scream we mustn’t laugh at him or her still deride an enemy’s perceived ignorance and speech. Freedom thinking equalists select the flavor of the day, and disallow equality to those that disagree. Liberals are rude, but choosey in their direction. Conservatives are sticklike and unbending in the wind. The wind is ever changing, ever sly and unpredicting. Like stubborn daffodils in snow, people don’t know how to change, or to adjust. They simply point and pout, or turn away instead.
