Sunday Afternoon.
The garden’s hair
done crew-cut style.
A graceful two-legged boulder
I avalanche grass-ward
arms and legs Vitruviensque
on verdant summer cuttings.
Soil smell and grassy vapours
fuse, hang in windless air.
A beer placed to starboard
out of reach--
Condescending, cool
coalescing.
Crying out to be consumed
its offer spurned.
Squinty eyes espy
a clingy tee-shirt.
It harnesses a wobbly montage.
Cotton, sweat, and double-D.
A lazy browse can’t stop
the drowsy smile from slipping
off to wonderland and semi-clads.
Sprinklers erupt with glee
to chase away all vestige
of a salty dreamy dribble.
Rainbows form and die
as misty droplets
prance and fall.
Itchy cool on Sunday afternoon.
