A summer verandah,
with birds twittering
their constant gossip...
the jays scoff.
Wind wisps sweep
in ever-changing directions,
seeking to surprise themselves
at the next sudden turn.
Electric and gas motors curse
at the pressure of coiffed lawns.
Distant traffic hum across a bay
silver-plattered by cloudless sky.
The sense of otherness:
an expectant feeling that
something completely unknown
is happening.
To you.
On a level of which you are not,
yet,
aware.
A graffiti of goldfinches
flirt
in the lower branches
of the jackpines.
And the old man,
lost in being,
at home
in now.
