March 20, 2014 We Write Poems #205/A Good Day in the Neighborhood

A Good Day in the Neighborhood

The sun sets in the West

And the horizon lights up

Neon light show natural

I lock the studio door

Day is done

You wait for me

We share a drink

Talk about poetry

Sometimes I read

Sometimes you do

We talk about art

Sometimes I show

Sometimes you do

How do you like it

(It includes

The assumption

That you do)

Is there something

You would change

We talk about it

We prepare

Something to eat

Last night

We cooked

Chicken

Spinach

Mashed potatoes

Later

A bath

Some TV

What has happened

In the world

On this day

Outside my

Neighborhood

Later still

We lock the doors

Lights out

We sleep

Knowing it has

Been a good day
