Scene From Edgewood Drive
written by: Don Kingfisher Campbell
An airplane crosses the sky
Irregular skyline on the horizon
Flowers near cars parked in driveways
A man sweeps the sidewalk
A woman walks her dog
An SUV passes briskly by
The hot dog stand is not open
Aftermath of a kid’s birthday party
Trash bins lined up at the curb
Sun bakes edifice of new storage building
No train on the tracks below
Cross the street if you see someone
Everyone wrapped up in their own lives
A mourning dove hoo hoos out of sight
