Making the Best of a Sunny 48-Degree Spring Day

 OM

Got my shorts out of the drawer.
I’m proud to be sitting out in the sun.
My feet are bare.

The chipmunks have come out of their lair
(under the back porch?) and are chasing each other around.
Got my shorts out of the drawer,
but it’s really pretty cold out here.
I’ve got my snap denim shirt on,
too, but my feet are bare.
Another thing is, I’m writing in my orange
notebook instead of breathing OM
I’m sitting out in the sun,
and my white hair
is long and shaggy, and I feel proud to be the one
God's watching, with my feet all bare.
I’d love to share myself with you, but I don’t dare,
and anyway we’ll both have much more fun
if we just get our shorts out of the drawer.
Our feet are bare.
