Tell Me About Your Day
The
evening air is cool – let’s sit outside in the dusk
Tell
me about your day, your work, your friends
I
like your friends; they write such lovely verse -
Nothing
as nearly good as yours, of course!
The
evening air is cool
I enjoyed
breakfast with my friends, our weekly outing
We
talked of our children and our hopes for them
Later
I worked at chores in the garden and house
And
read new lines from my favorite poet
The
evening air is cool
I so
enjoy talking with you – do I talk too much?
Too
little? Just right? You are such fun to listen to!
And
the evening air is just right
