This
piece is another look at street life in my neighborhood.
Early
November
The
eastern sky brightens making long shadows. Teenagers
with
tightly buttoned jackets quick step to the yellow bus.
Then
come the walkers, some with their exuberant dogs, some without.
They
come alone or together, chatting and giving
chirpy
greeting to whomever they meet.
By
morning tea, come the joggers and cyclers.
Their
sweatsuits vary in style and varying in age
as
do they.
When
the buses return during the brilliance of mid day,
the
youths carry their jackets and warm-wear.
Now
they chatter breezily with a bit of frisky jostling.
With
the sun low in the western sky, walkers appear.
Home
from work and daily chores done, a brief walk
to
the pond seems to invigorate and revive.
Soon
the cold and bitter weather with the hindering snow
will
defer the idyllic activities. Until then,
enjoy.
"walk to the pond"
