Opportunistic
People from many lands, bright eyes, dark skin, guttural languages, eclectic religions. They gather in this valley of the mountains, near barren save for farmer's fields and the creatures who live in the trees left over. The sun stretches over the horizon until its mass has covered the uninhabited hills, the cloudless sky uninhibiting its movements. The dry, thin air fills lungs like a chilled glass of water, its breezes flying low over the land. And the land reaches its rough fingers towards the sky, crashing against its neighbors and draining the rivers down its many towering spines. With as many new gray and beige buildings that fill the valley, the sun still blankets the land, the land still collides with time, the rivers still weave through the valleys and the rocks in an effusion of erosion. This simple, boring, opportunistic civilization of Parker, Colorado.
