Morning Walk
I want a normal day so much
One with sunshine through the leaves
Pleasure in the shade
And also where it’s bright
I want a street to walk along
Houses, maybe businesses
Enough to make a neighborhood
I don’t expect a “Howdy, neighbor!”
But real people, living
Publicly, trying to do their best
Enough to hope that privately
Private things are being worked out
It doesn’t have to be my place
My home, my town
This might be only a morning long
But as a present thing, it would be grand

I hope you get a normal day soon. And a morning walk that fits the bill. I won’t send you one of our mornings unless you have fisherman calibre oilskins.

Ha, no, I don’t. And you could use a more normal day, at least a dry one.

The barn floor certainly could. I worry about the water table rising since there are no foundations to the house and the floors (terracotta tiles) are laid directly on the ground. It means the back of the house, below the surrounding ground level, is always damp and sometimes water bubbles up through the tiles.
