The Seasons of the Bay Area As Noted By the Five Senses

Newcomers, naysayers: This is how we tell our quintuplets apart.  

Spring: Taste. Bitter flowers on children's tongues. Feta cheese (goat).

Summer: Touch. Cotton blend sweaters. Fog on faces, in lungs.

Bay Area Summer: Vision. Orange moon. Brown hills. Sutro Tower partially obscura.

Fall: Hearing. The leaves blow fiercer, and pause. The trees are in a hurry all of a sudden.

Winter: Smell. The bay, two miles inland. Rotting humos.
