Red .

They are parading down Green Street, turning onto 6th. They have banners, but are not orienting them properly, so they are facing the storefronts and I cannot see the words. 

Yellow .

They are protesting. Protesting NATO. Did NATO bomb a Chinese embassy? This is the largest protest I have seen in a while. A parade. Signs calling for NATO to stop. Slogans. Everything printed, meticulous.

Green .

It is time to put my car into gear now, and I cannot read any more of their signs. I feel slow and detached. Moving through a traffic of indifference, this congested avenue of information.
