Neighbors
A long, long, tall, tall hedge of green
runs along the picture screen
within my mind
and there I find
Suzie the four year old
so brave and bold
peeking into the leaves
squatting down to receive
those eyes on the other side.
"Oh my." I cried
for there was my friend
a very large drake to send
me off in squeals of glee
as he would look back at me
through little spaces in the hedge
with our unspoken pledge
to always play peek-a-boo
and thats just what we'd do.
