i hear the growl of cars going by 

the deep animal like sound of the engines as they past

i smell the flowers at the height of their bloom

their colors like fire against the dark green grass

i taste the rain in the air,

a burden for all the thirsty plants that are waiting

i feel the sidewalk underneath me

the trail that mankind paved into the earth

it makes me think of the earth slowly revolving

the idea that night is arriving shortly washes over all beings

i feel my clothes hugging against my skin

as a cool breeze arrives from the north

i sit on a bench as i think about these things

and the bench welcomes my thoughts as i rest there
