the cities all mesh with themselves
this big red house is cool today
on the porch especially well lit today
the sun keeps asking questions
as if I knew the answers he was looking for
Oh, you know the answer to that
you are the sun and I am the spot
on the earth that you miss
when I go into the house
to sleep or den to feed
the parody of this is breakfast
cereal commercials or advertisments
from Country Life
but I am far from this luxury
far from Vergennes
far from the homes sitting
along the Champlain Islands
too far from the strawberry feild
outside Burlington
closer to the one in Central Park
and that hasn't a strawberry in it
The fears are quelled by the sun
today and the return to simple
becomes the truest aim
of sitting on the porch
