Alright—on the left— Wearing a striped Long-sleeved shirt And dark pants, looking Smart as a tack as he gazes North onto a long gray Street stretching south Under an endless canopy Of low gray clouds—
Three cars are parked With their noses pointing North, too—it looks Like it’s early spring, For the lone Leafless sapling On the sidewalk shows Signs of coming To life again.
