meet me at the corner of Culebra & Culebra

late afternoon sun
illuminates each ripple
squirrel tugs shoelace


That doesn't entirely sum up my afternoon walk, but I couldn't squeeze the crows, the other squirrel, the scramble between the paths, the guy on a bike, the book, the pow-wow, the flickers (five seen, two only heard), the old houses, the blue flowers, the ducks, the courting swans, the willow tree, and the Kermit the Frog garden statue into seventeen syllables.
