In the morning,no one is in the shopping street.
At noon,a few elderly peopleappear here and there.
At night,there is no sign of anyone.
I once believedthe town would grow.
I believedit was connected to the world.
Connected evento the universe.
The center of the worldwas this town.
A place where people lived.
But the towngrows smaller.
People disappear.
Only silenceremains there.
And the universequietly watches it.
