The news about the condo conversion landed on Marco's doormat with a dull thud, but he barely noticed. He was lost in the rhythm of the city. He walked through the building's lobby, then into the street, his heart soaring. He had an idea for a new song. The melody had been dancing in his head all morning. He headed to the park, pulled out his notebook and a pencil. The city’s sounds, the rustling leaves, the distant horns, they all joined in the chorus in his head.
