Observations from the sunroom for 2 minutes

a girl in green shorts walks by
pink hollyhocks block most of the view
a young man on a skateboard thunders by,
dogs barking, first one, then two others.
two girls walking, both talking on their cell phones,
one of them studying her nails as she walks,
the neighbor wearing his red baseball hat
walking to his red car and driving west.
Two blue SUVs in succession, obeying the
speed limit, rain falling into the open
windows of my 1992 Geo, a schnauzer walking
his owner, then quiet, nothing, silence for 1 minute,
so I went upstairs to read my book by the window,
attentive so as not to miss any great views.
