Next Door


Next door, the neighbors are playing
Red Light, Green Light with their kids
Whose bright laughter carries over the rooftops
The summer air is heavy, damp
And the maples hang weary branches over the lawn.
Even the bumblebees amid the catnip sound tired
High summer, hot
And the best thing to do is play lawn games
Or drink iced tea in the hammock
