to drip from branches.
The air holds a humid chill,
but the birds have begun
to rejoice.
There is baseball on a radio
as workingmen clear the yard.
They’ve recently agreed (again)
to lower their wages, but these days
work is work.
The blue sky encourages
cats to hunt birds, and slowly
they return to form.
A lonely dog chews
his own leg.
A suburban family is going
with hot dogs, beans, and
potato salad for dinner.
It is a decision both seasonal
and economic.
