Looking Around, Believing Lyrics by Gary Soto

0

How strange that we can begin at any time
With two feet we get down the street
With a hand we undo the rose
With an eye we lift up the peach tree
And hold it up to the wind — white blossoms
At our feet. Like today. I started
In the yard with my daughter
With my wife poking at a potted geranium
And now I am walking down the street
Amazed that the sun is only so high
Just over the roof, and a child
Is singing through a rolled newspaper
And a terrier is leaping like a flea
And at the bakery I pass, a palm
Like a suctioning starfish, is pressed
To the window. We're keeping busy —
This way, that way, we're making shadows
Where sunlight was, making words
Where there was only noise in the trees
