The well lit light of the streets seen from the porches he had the other way around, the streets lit with the light from the windows onto the porches. The porches lit and the streets less so, and a cleanness in the smell of the air he didn’t think he’d be able to get into himself outweighed by a sense of accomplishment at noticing the bricks.
