Porch Perception - Hayley Darpel

Porch Perception

I tried something new early this morning.
Sitting on my front porch, or lack thereof,
with my Pike’s Place coffee and enjoying
the wind rustling leaves about in the air.
Everyone is on a morning mission.
On my small concrete porch, I was alone
with my mug of coffee, just as people
were in a bubble of peace on their walks.
The only difference was I was viewing
them on their journeys and they had no clue.
However, they weren’t my only interest.
I saw the colors blowing from the branches.

As each piece drifted apart one by one,
these people’s eyes were distant like the sun.
