Observation
There is soft light coming through the windows
Cool air after an evening of rain
Sparrows chatter in elms
Kitty looks out the window and day dreams
A motorcycle rumbles down Bryant
The news is filled with tragedies
It is of angry white-men murdering dozens of people
Terrorism in Texas and Ohio
It the two hundred and sixteenth day of the year
Two hundred and fifty mass-shooting
With no end in sight
Twenty-nine dead and dozens hurt
Each shooting took a matter of seconds
The world turns, the light in Minnesota is soft the air is cool
Sparrows chatter in the elms
Kitty listens and watches the morning traffic on the avenue
