I found myself by the Mystic yesterday. I went without expectation, mostly feeling a need to stretch my legs. I gave myself one hour thinking that would be enough time to do one of my standard circuitous routes but for most of the hour I found myself in one spot. It was early morning, not too hot, the sun shining bright. A good wind but not too strong. I was able to plant my feet and practice patience as the butterflies settled around me.

A young wood thrush perhaps? Its orange chest was speckled black. I startled it a bit as I walked by on the sidewalk. No flapping of wings. It just walked deeper into the brush along the Mystic.

when it rains

where do the squirrels go
perhaps inside a tree or beneath a big leaf
maybe underground to huddle in a group
a few brave souls probably stay with faces upturned to the sky
I’m pretty sure that I’ve seen wet squirrels before
but when it rains so steady as it has done today
where do the homeless people go
not into tree not beneath a leaf though I am sure there are a few undergrounds
but in general really I am asking as I see the puddles grow outside
where do the homeless go in the rain
those folks I saw just yesterday in Back Bay
not far from this squirrel
on the streets in the alleys on the benches
some asking for money some fighting and others praying
I don’t know where they go in the rain
but I probably should
