Reflective Perspective


Reflective Prespective


 

Glass doorknobs on bedroom doors with key locks.

big green worms on tomato plants.

a dime in hand for the newest "Uncle Scrooge" comic book.

playing cards clipped on bike wheels with wooden clothes pins.

the nurse in white with pins on her chest taking temperature with a glass thermometer tasting of alcohol.

wild blackberry feasts in the back lot.

the smell of blooming basswood trees.

forts made with old chenille bedspreads and clothesline props,

and just watching rain.

Childhood excitements and Old man’s treasures.

Little things that hold on to you and pull you back from today.

Like sleep they renew.
