Footnote: Optical Illusion

An overcast day:

sunlight eludes my gaze; but

all green plants' leaves, and

parts of my skin, bask in the

unimpeded, invisible rays.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Today is the forty-ninth anniversary of my arrival at college for the beginning of freshman year.  The campus was a delightful place in which walking to class, studying in the library, or eating in the dining hall did not require shoes---barefoot or socksheathed sufficed.  Even the overcast days, in that vicinity, were unusually balmy; and during those balmy weeks only precipitation could compel the use of shoes.
