There’s a child racing down the street
Two sneakers, one sock
Both untied
The bedraggled car that passes by
Slows to look in an open window of the manor
Then speeds on to change direction
A bluebird foraging through compost
To find suitable housing for her young
Nestled in the birdhouse in the shape of the colonial
The carefully manicured lawn
With quartered off sections for flowers to bloom
Is far less colorful than the field of dandelions next door
Rainwater rushes towards the gutter
Carrying with it all the day’s excess items
Dirt, salt, paper and plastic, leaves and a diamond ring
An intricately carved marble fountain lies
Detailed with beautifully carved creatures, meanwhile
The cat beneath uses it for shelter, unimpressed
The grandiose architecture boasts immaculate symmetry
Coated with brilliant white paint
As the walls inside crumble under the weight
Two people are situated in opposite corners of the house
Both oblivious and unconscious to their surroundings
Caught in the very respective holes of their very respective minds.
