exercising mood

citizen in a lazy
parade rest stands near
the flowers bursting from a dogwood;
smile of contentment formed as the balloons
of cherry red and lemon
yellow sailed closer to the cotton
balls on their slow float as another
cotton ball took shape and the space
cleared so the citizen
in lazy parade rest
could whip out the phantom
processor and clacked about wishing
these few moments could be captured
and set on little nightstand pedestals.
