Saturday Morning Verse pt. 2

Fashionable people

Saturday brunch, 2 sweet teas

in glass cups, with ice and lemon slices

with watches and argyle socks

sunglasses and neat tights and Mary-Janes.

I love dates on Saturday mornings

sunny sides of streets

breezy, cool in shade

any neighborhood is sublime

when I make it a little mine.

The autumn is only as spectacular

as the summer before it hot

and long

and lacking in luster.

Beards are out, and eyes are bluer

against faded white skin

only remembering sun tans.
