From sticky car rides
of sweat, air conditioning
and burning leather seats
where two little boys
discuss Yugioh and Pokemon
in the back
Slowly cruising through
quiet suburban streets
and into the gasoline fumed air
where automobiles drink up
and passengers take a break
Red lights after red lights
Pedestrians take their time,
Cars cruising past,
Finally passing the auto store
and through the school crosswalks
Over the railroad crossing
and past the place
where people pray.
A place filled with love
and worship
Children laughing and playing
in the grassy fields nearby
while music blares
as the young adults chat
We turn into the lot next door
Searching for refuge
under the lined up trees
which provide precious cover
where we finally land
The oncoming heat hits
with a lazy swoosh
And the sun beats down on us
blinding our sight
and slowly burning our skin
Cars slowly pass by
Where people cross the streets
Trying to get from here
to there
Looking both ways
Then scurry across
A stranger holds the door
As they are about to leave
A smile given and taken
Rushing inside
The fresh cool atmosphere hits
Various people scattered
here and there
Clicking away
or flipping through crisp pages
Striding up and down the aisles
Looking into one world
and onto the next
Meeting new characters
and old ones, too.

A poem I wrote for IB English class. Our example poem was "The Moose" by Elizabeth Bishop.

But this is nice. Brings back childhood memories.
