Sitting in my lawn chair tanning
On my little patch of asphalt,
Many things I see occurring
I normally just would not see.
Like spiders spinning dinner webs,
Butterfly on its way somewhere,
Loose leaves blowing around on lawns
And emmets running race car speeds.
I hear the rustle of tree leaves
In summer breezes in my trees,
The roar of municipal trucks
And heavy things get moved around.
Once in a while I’ll see a plane
High in my sky of blue up there,
Many people fling somewhere
And I will say a prayer for them.
Sitting in my lawn chair tanning,
Relaxing…I take it all in…
Deep in my dozy mind and fade
Into this summer afternoon.

glorious ants walk
on wide, mighty sidewalk walks
before the kitchen
~
glorious emmets
piece of bread on the counter
trapped inside the bread
~
out taking pieces
of bread out of the kitchen
to share with the ants
