an American flag in the distance flutters
around an unseen pole holding it up,
vehicles burning headlights pass by,
campers parked perfectly in driveways,
the smell of freshly cut grass permeates the air,
cirrus clouds off to the left stand guard
over the morning not fully begun framing
mature Magnolias full of white blossoms,
bent trees covers in green leaves tower
over the homes they protect as if nature
had not appreciated their early attitudes,
weathered deck rails circumnavigate their
territory as only their builder could imagine,
and a Siamese cat sits in his favorite chair
as the morning sun decorates him in light
oblivious to the environment around him.
