I saw a man walking, drft1

I saw a man walking
but the man was deceitful
for he appeared to be a boy.

I saw a boy walking
and the boy paused
as the evergreens brushed his bike.

I saw a boy walking
through the cool green forest,
pausing, texting a friend.

I saw a boy walking
as the cool rain beats down,
soaking his hair and face.

I saw a boy walking
and I remembered the
wet hands were my hands
and the drenched soul was my soul.

I saw myself walking
as the thoughts persisted,
the leaves rustled,
and superfluous technology cracked against rock.

We shall eat cookies

We shall eat cookies
when the day is bright
as we relax under the willows
and the hammock is deep.

We shall eat cookies
to wash away the sorrow
as the tire swings
over the clear pond.

We shall eat cookies
when the storm is in sight
the foundation is solid,
and the building sturdy.

We shall eat cookies
as the screen door swings
the breeze rolls in
and the sheets are soft.

We shall eat cookies
as the rainbow shines
the day is cool, and the
mountain air carries lilacs.
