my neighbor’s kid races
across the sidewalk
carrying hope & requests
for his favorite foods
in his heart
he shouts for the entire
building to hear his
budding voice
the dog straightens her ears
and tilts in his direction
I think she hears something
I do not

One of our neighbours named her daughter Peggy. Not after me, but it still is lovely to hear her named called out.

They’re plenty of days where I recognize Jernee’s got me beat by a mile in the wisdom department. Lol.
