Window of my World

Outside my office window, there is a chain-link fence about 4 feet from the window, and beyond the fence another four feet is a two-storey, Caucasian-beige garage with apartments on the second floor. I can see the blank first storey wall of the garage apartment building, but there are two windows on the second floor that I can see if I tilt my blinds. I keep my blinds angled so that no one in those apartments can see into my window. If I open the blinds and lean all the way over, I can see the sky at the top of the alley.

It's snowing outside, in earnest now. Before there were flurries, now it is coming down in slanted white dashes. It is not accumulating. This morning we woke to snow on building roofs and on cars. I helped C* scrape the snow off the car before she left for work.
