The FedEx truck, it comes and goes.
The walkway builders
eat their lunch
in partial shade.
One tree gone—it got in the way.
Roses are blooming; lilies, too.
School lets out;
some students and Helena Huggybear
exchange hellos.
One tree gone—it got in the way.
Half-price sandwiches include a side.
The UPS truck comes and goes;
Helena Huggybear peers at the clouds;
something rumbles down the block.
One tree gone—it got in the way.
No shade over here
by the curb, by the tar.
Rain predicted this afternoon;
brakes squeal, sequel to a triple honk.
One tree gone—it got in the way.
The Molson beer truck comes and goes.
The lights flick-flock
red:green, green:red;
a bench would help . . . I pace in place.
