Feels like a good day today.
From the living room window
the gray sky outside smiles at me
through the bird stained windows
of my apartment.
The leafless elm trees that hang out
on Pennsylvania Ave. have humbly
accept their winter nakedness, and
with the help from a gentle Oklahoma
breeze (that doesn't seem to realize
it's still winter) wave hi, invite
me outside for a pleasant walk to the mall.
And soon I'll put some clothes on,
brush my teeth, comb what's left of my hair
and gather up all the personal gear
I'll need (
glasses, Levi jacket,
baseball cap and cell phone)
and make the block and a half hike
through the suburban wilderness
of the north side of Oklahoma City
to see a movie at the Dickinson.
And on my way to popcorn and
a large ice tea and a fake velvet seat
in a dark auditorium, I'll remember
our elders who tamed the wilds
of Oklahoma so I might (in my
later years) enjoy a 3-D version of--
GHOST RIDER: SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE!
