August Legends

The sky is news-worthy the day brightly published, up-town where the trees live sunshine plays in the streets. Later, in the wild-walking cities there will be donuts; racers will twirl while they hurl rubber into smoking halo's, but here in suburbia only recycled and ritual sins are dumped decorously into well-kept trash bins. The air is clear in God's manicured acres where all the long dead Shaker's had the decorum and foresight to propagate no more of their brightness, nor publish simple gifts to the unheeding. A community grills hotdogs and burgers through a late summer day, dullsville simmers away long into the evening crawlies, where the glaring stars retell bygone bedtime stories.
