a perfect walk
on a summer's morning
when the morning heat is just enough
and the wild plums are ripe enough to eat.
Sunshine filters through the beeches
and the lime tree helicopters
hang just so,
waiting for the right breeze to fly.
The bells of St. Mary's peal
"we-all-know-what-johnny-has-done
john-ny smokes weed
john-ny smokes weed"
and the dogs
panting, happy,
know the way home
