Neighborhood
NEIGHBORHOOD
It’s much about neighborhood
The kiss?
The hug?
Your household morning and night?
Yes!
Of course!
But!
Don’t build fences – the closeout sort
Don’t roof-out the sky
There is other life under the heavens and beyond
There are neighborhood children yearning to be touched
when only sleep can open things up
is “reach out” a mere spilling of words?
Is beauty to be seen only in parks and on mountain tops?
It’s much about neighborhood
The very old know about such things
They dream
In forced seclusion they dream
And their vision so often about neighborhood
About the closeness lost
Oh it’s much about neighborhood
And the taking care thereof
