A Lazy day on a Porch
Dog is lying in the shade, his butt under the car’s tire
I bask in the sun, loving the Vitamin D
Wind picks up in a savage way
Shiny coral leaves dance in a macabre way
Dead, they forgot to fall off their branches last fall
Next month the new growth will begin
Will the neonates force the oldsters to the ground?
My thoughts move to my husband’s car
It is over a century old
Her chrome looks brand new
If she was turned
Would her headlights see the leaves that forgot to fall?
Would she honk in recognition?
Just a lazy day on a porch
A head full of wonder
