endosummer

crisp breeze drying raindrops on the hood of an old chevy
sharp squawks, get up get up! crows announcing morning
wet grass rich loam pervasive in the park
misty light chasing shadows from the dark

diesel fumes choking swirling through the market square
people huddled mutant waiting for their scheduled routes
giant scarlett gladiolas straining for the sky
whistling humming buzzing laughing sound the passersby

electronic beeping tapping reminders of the workday
shuffling papers research resolution and response
conditioned air metallic dry and sneezing
elevators waiting chugging zipping and one wheezing

heat haze smoglike builds up blanketing the city
horizons smudged, the clouds diffuse, humidity peaking
the sweet foul air of intersections, leaving work behind
arrow straight o'er to the deck to meet some friends of mine :)

have a happy long weekend
