land in the back yard

the low flying plane
sounds like it will land
in the back yard
it is wonderful to sit
on the back porch
so many places he might rather be
sometimes the desire is to be
around other people
and constantly wonder what they are thinking
as they move from spot to spot
some hurry and some move slowly
but surely with a purpose
aside from taking up space
it might be needed by the important few
that orchestrate the symphony
of the many does anyone do this
thinking out loud on his porch
he can hear the laughter and sadness
and some of the silent whisperings
of the neighborhood at least one
snap shot is definitely not enough
room to capture it all
the plane is circling back
he is sure of it…
