Happy Man

What a warm steamy day it is today!
I’m sitting on my back porch. Already
wrote one poem, a villanelle about
spinach. Not wearing any underwear,
and I could take off my cut-off jean shorts
and my unbuttoned jean shirt and sit out
here naked—no one probably would see
me. OK, took my shorts off—my long shirt
still shields me a little from view. Finches
flying to the bird feeders that my wife
wants me to refill today. Don’t see the
chipmunks yet—surely they’re not already
hibernating. Maybe people think I’m
crazy, but I’m lucky lucky lucky!
