Perfect Day at the Lake

Walk

Run

Bicycle

Roller Blade

Skateboard

 

Three Miles

Smooth Path

Never smile

Can’t hear:

birdsong

breeze against leaves

passing “hello”

Warning! Strangers!

Eyes only on your phone

Locked in

Ignoring nature

Grass-tree-sky-water-flower-human-dog-duck blind

 

 

 

“You’re missing the beauty,”

I almost shout.

And wonder why you came out.
