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
