Slacking in Atlanta

when the sun shines in Atlanta,

find a hammock and face the sun.

let each ray find its place, 

stretch your arms, palms up, 

neck back so the warmth finds

your neglected neck, your chin raised

skyward, erasing the  many hours

facing down towards the tasks 

that accompany daily life.  

we do not relax enough, so when the

sun shines in winter down south, 

stretch, release and relax.
