County 47 from a birds eye view is breathtaking. High enough to get away from the busyness but not too high to make it insignificant. Getting the middle ground is the theater Otherwise you miss the show! The machines and humans are on stage.
Humans look like they are gliding from point A to B. There is order from up here. The Matatus are neatly parked at the stage. The motorbikes zoom past the humans in so much cohesion It's like experiencing a Mozart piece! A master piece orchestra.
The silence is deafening. The sight has you closing your eyes to take it all in. To ensure that it is deeply engraved in you. To let all the senses experience this awesome wonder.
You can see the hills from up here and the horizon is a hand stretch away. The clouds make such beautiful abstract art they look like cotton candy and the birds are doing the back flips, spins, cartwheels. The whole nine yards.
You have to go home...
You get in the elevator and go down.
The beauty that was, Is left up there!! Like a fading memory.
You are met with some guy shoving you out of the way(he is way too busy to give way and you in his way are an obstacle that needs to be shoved out. This is his street), another trying to sell you mangoes like your life depends on it(You need these mango up in your face) while the touts are heckling you to get into their Matatu, your destination is not their concern. You want to see the beauty in the chaos but the smoke from the guy in front of you won't let you.
You flash back to 3mins ago when your heart almost gave in to the wonder of this city.
County47.. It's not you, it's me. (best-worst break up line ever. But it is what it is)
