Hanging Out Together Was Fun


Outside under a grey sky, when the light is easy on the eyes, and crouched against the concrete, I felt the winds damp cold. A vent blows fog as my neighbors are doing laundry; My backside is warmed, and the air smells of soap--I think of little else. When my legs began to buzz, I shifted over to another heel. No friend perhaps walking the street before me for the next half an hour, and standing, with sore knees after the vents have turned off, I walk home.

I've got a little poem book I've been working on since I was about 17 or 18, and one day I hope to make it into a book. I only add to it occasionally though.

I made this to reflect on what I wonder is or is not many others' experience with wanting to hang out on a rainy day in their local culdesac. I lived in an area with a lot of young families, so, if kids wanted to be outside, they'd come out. Even on rainy days. You just had to keep warm, that's all.
