Today
I saw
A
9 or 10
Year old boy
Skipping
Yes
He was skipping
Snoopy backpack
Smacking
With abandon
No bullies lurked
That I could see
Lucky boy
He hadn’t a care in the world
And
It made me happy
So happy
A crisp breeze flowed
The threat of real weather
Rumored
And
It
Was as though
Nothing
Had changed
In
50 years
We were
Suspended in time
If only
For
Ten minutes
