it’s 75 degrees
the first real nice day
since winter

I’m staring at a patch of grass
with a confused look on my face
like I should be
doing something outside

a fly lands on the railing
he looks like he doesn’t know
what he’s doing either

it’s spring

it’s beautiful
and perhaps that’s
the biggest problem
