Looking Upward '82

I remembered a time in spring when I glazed upward, the clouds taking shapes of trains, elephants, lions and cars. I could spend hours playing my games. Now, when I look up, those shapes are gone. In their place, words like cumulus, cirrus, stratus and cumulonimbus enter. Somehow I like the old games better.
