outside my window

the neighbor’s
cutting his
grass,

the guy
across the street
is hosing down
his driveway

and there’s a kid
going up and
down theblock,

hanging flyers
on mailboxes.

that’s just
the kind of day it is…

nothing
out of the ordinary.nothing
memorable. just like
this
poem.

but, it all still
needs to be
done.
