coming across these stairs
in the middle of the woods
wondering what they once led to
and how much time has been lost
since they led anyone there?

“i’ve about decided that’s the main thing
that separates happy people from the other people:
the feeling that you’re a practical item,
with a use, like a sweater or a socket wrench.”

early fall field in ann arbor, michgian, usa
we pulled up at the same time
right next to each other
i got out
his family got out
he stayed in
we looked at each other
i said hello to him
his mom said
he insists on
riding along
on every journey
and refuses
to get out of the car
until they all get home
once again
he just loves to ride.

“i’m going along for the ride. the whole ride.
all the way to the end of the line. wherever that is.”

walking through a park
on a beautiful day
looking up to the sky
and
quietly sitting way up there
was a very polite and interested audience
it was standing room only.

“ive never had any idea that what I like would resonate with the audience, and i’m pleasantly surprised when it does.”

south pond park, ann arbor, michigan, usa
many parks that i visit
are quiet and solitary experiences
and then there are others
teeming with people and life
and noise and activities
of all kinds
both have such an important place and purpose.
