Leaves

Are these the same autumn leaves I stepped on yesterday? Or do they get replaced at night? They were everywhere around the park, sticking to the tarmac as if with glue.

I did my intervals around the park barely noticing the foliage that looked so beautiful yesterday. Towards the last two kilometres, the drizzle turned into a downpour.

Everything including me became soaking wet. The guards over at their barracks continued their morning exercises and stood in perfect formation.
