the tree out front

we go down

to see

the cherry blossoms

blossom.

pink white.

every year it's a big

whoop.

it's on the news.

the weather.

tourists are everywhere

with their

cameras.

it's cold and windy.

it's raining

as we walk along

the tidal basin

until frozen.

we drive home

and notice the tree

in the front yard.

that's nice too.

maybe nicer.
