maybe

maybe i could ride the pink bicycle

that hangs in the window

of the hamburger place

I could ride it through the back alley

round the corner to your house

pn baker street where the cat dreams

in the window basket

maybe we could drink tea

at two instead of three

watch the black squirrel

hide a peanut under a leaf

what will it take

to bring peace to the world

on a sunday afternoon

yes,
Richard Brautigan, a tall lanky man standing forever under the statue of Benjamin Franklin in a park in a city in California agrees with yes.

fawningly, the world on a sunday afternoon requires no more exaggerated attention than any other day.
But perhaps the sentiment of a poet can change even the simplest of domestic perceptions. Does giving any attention to the mundane keep the mundane from happening? Maybe not. But beauty has to, in
most cases, be uncovered.

Beautifully written Audrey.....dana

actually I was hinking about peace in the whole world if we did things a little differently maybe we would find peace the current policy of bombing Syria into smithereens is not the answer in my opinion

I want to find out what peace actually means before I leave this earth. It is not the adroit maneuvering of those in bomb shelters. Peace is a life before bombs. Not cleaning the scatter
from the streets on a lovely morning. I agree and love you.....dana
