out the window
to a woman
walking by with her dog,
she's holding
a plastic
bag full of what looks
like tree bark,
but isn't.
she's dressed to the nines,
in her heels
and Sunday
finest.
she's wearing a peach-colored dress,
a broad white
hat,
a pearl necklace.
she waves back with the hand
holding
the bag as
her dog lifts his leg
against
my lamp post.
he looks up at me
after scratching
furiously at the grass,
then they both move on.
