Signifying Nothing

Bright morning sun light
Throws long shadows on my lawn.
Work truck chugs near by.














Shadows all around;
Some stretching across the road;
Some eating the grass.










Green leaves by the stream;
Hard used laundry on the line.
Dog keeps on barking.

Muffled t.v. sounds;
Soft hoot of a morning dove;
Black car swishes past.










It's come to a rest--
Dead tree on another tree:
A wooden recline.














Standing near the road,
A stump wooden obelisk,
Signifying nothing.

In the dark green shadows
Round white flowers have emerged
Waiting for the sun.







Racing garbage truck
Chugs by in a cloud of dust.
The trash must get through!!
