with cake on their faces

i sip on
the clear glass
of cold water
on this hot summer day,
on the front
stoop.
some children skip
by holding
birthday
balloons,
red, blue and white,
the parents in tow,
i wave.
a dog comes over
to wag
his tail, 
allowing me to pet
him. somebody's 
birthday
has gone by, such
fleeting
time.
