The Hood’s Stoop
I sat on the stoop in the hood~
While a white plastic grocery bag alone blew by~
In the chilly winter early morn~
Rolling away low on the broken, cracked sidewalk~
Like a tumbleweed in a ghost town~
It soon disappeared in the distance~
Further down multitudes of roads~
With mish mashed homesteads~
As I still sat cold and alone on the stoop~
Pondering various places~
The tumble bag visited.

Love this! Reminds me of when I used to sit for hours with my family on our stoop!

Gypsy Rose Lee I am so glad you could relate! I had the opportunity of sitting on the stoop in the hood while taking care of an injured friend for an extenuating time just recently....generally I sit on my porch in the country...So I was happy to experience a different view.. there might be more stooping experiences to write about in the future for me as well. THANK YOU!!!!!! Have a great day!!!!
An interesting concept…could it simply be forgotten trash, the trash of society, or the trash that we all discard on a daily basis? Nice work, Lisa.
