A MOMENT NONPAREIL

Under the honey locust
a breeze whips at me.

It's my childhood again
when skies were like 
this blue today with such 
white clouds.

Nothing stirs. Nothing.
Not a motor of the city
sounds.
No bird calls.
A lack of trees reveals
vast heavens, lets me know
the world is mine.

All this, as far as
I can see, is mine
and no other knows. 
Not one soul.
