Observation
I listen to
a car roll by outside my open window
The sound of
traffic is low, I have not noticed any busses
There is a
beeping like an alarm going off at the nursing home across the street
Or of a van
backing up, but it has been going off for hours
It is Labor Day
today and the city is still sleeping
Summer is
coming to an end
It promises
to be warm today, not hot, the breeze is cool and dry
Kitty is
running from window to window, chortling in her brisk meow
There is
something happening outside
A born
squirrel, or a chip monk in the tree
They vanish,
and she grows quiet
