Such interesting things catch
my eye when I’m out walking.
A baby’s sock for instance.
I wonder if the little one’s toes
are cold, when it was noticed
if there was a blanket and then
I walk on and notice a mitten,
left over from last winter still
hanging from a twig, and my
gaze shifts to a pink rock, midst
a small yard of grey, beautiful
in its difference. And there’s the
leaves. In spring, their green haze
wakens the trees; in summer, the
trees are full of their life; in fall,
they are dyed, dried, and curled,
in winter there are hangers on
that blacken against the snow.
Noticing these things shows many
moments and progress of a city’s life.
“Keep your world small, keep your focus on the thing
right in front of you and slowly wideout that world-view.”
