morning falls short of expectations
wishing we were at the coast,
hiding among sea oats and dunes
hoping the crabs stay underground,
visions of waves dance through our
minds like children at the zoo or
a teenager's first date with braces
not really knowing what to do...
sun torments the skies
rain showers momentarily stop
umbrellas on decks opened again
still needing the shady spots...
open doors no longer a policy
neighbor's dog comes for meals,
barking away the quietness
until we open the door...
cats sleep together on pillows
our AC is set too low,
meandering smells from the kitchen
provoking no responses from
those lamenting inside...
backdoor neighbors hoot and holler
hoping we'll come outside,
time to teach them a lesson in
manners - urinating on a foreign flag.
