Day 2, Outside My Window

I contemplate the world

outside my window

through wooden, white blinds.

 

Sometimes,

while working

at my desk,

the world passes by,

unnoticed.

Sometimes,

I catch a glimpse of

cars, delivery trucks, and buses.

Sometimes,

walkers extend

their walk

by turning onto my cul-de-sac.

Sometimes,

neighbors gather

and chat.

Most of the time,

there’s not much to see

unless

you stop to notice

a breeze disturbing tree limbs,

birds tending to the business of survival,

shadows creeping

along the sidewalk

as the hours pass.

I watch the world

outside my window

through wooden, white blinds.
