Things a Kid Can Do on an Urban Walk

June 29th, 2012 | Posted by sweet in Poetry

Jump the sidewalk cracks.
Balance along the top of a brick wall.
Race to the corner.
Swing on a bike rack.
Spot a white van with a ladder on top
or a garbage truck
or a city bus.
Listen for a siren.
Chase the pigeons until they fly.
Rescue a worm by lifting it off the sidewalk and dropping it onto shaded grass.
Spot the cat in the bushes.
Wave to the dog on the front porch.
Watch a squirrel run up a tree.
Pick a dandelion.
Pull the nectar from a honeysuckle flower.

Say hello to the neighbors.
