winter was long, and damp, and cold and dark.
Today the sun shines, the sky is blue
last night the sunset was glowing peach and orange and gold
the evening balmy and perfect.
The neighborhood streets thronged with people
Walking, biking, running, doing yardwork, playing at the playground.
The student ghetto was full of kids in bikinis or shorts sitting on their lawns.
Everyone came out into the sun at once, like milkweed bursting from the pod,
Hungry for the sunshine and blue sky
after the winter that dragged on too long.
