I'm tired of hearing about nature's silence. This romance doesn't draw me. The birds are louder, people claim to have noticed. No, ornithologists tell journalists, humans are just quieter. Like when Los Angelos lost power in the eighties and people called police to report a straight, alien substance in the night sky. Its name is the Milky Way for a reason -- although now I do not know the origins of this name at all.
