listen horizontally
droning boat motors
bookending the lanky lake
and its library of trees
the pitter patter of
little waves
pencil on paper
scritch, scratch, scritch, claw, scribble,
scritch, scratch, scritch
the mope, flop,
mope of teenage waves
two boys and a
mama on a dock
the plomp of rocks into water
the clomp of boots to a newly discovered dock!
the slomp of boots back from the newly discovered private dock…
the Monday
morning chaos of adult waves
talk radio
birds flying south
all the birds at home judging their every syllable
the WTF
of elderly waves
active
inactivity
bookending the lanky lake
and its library of trees
scritch, scratch, scritch, claw, scribble,
scritch, scratch, scritch
the plomp of rocks into water
the clomp of boots to a newly discovered dock!
the slomp of boots back from the newly discovered private dock…
all the birds at home judging their every syllable
