In the City

 The squirrels still chase.

The birds still sing.

The boy still wears a mask.

The trees still change color.

The wind still blows the leaves.

The birds are singing and 

The traffic is ringing.

We live closer together,

But still apart, even divorced

From the gift of nature around us.

The noise is a glorious cacophony.

Joy and praise in the morning.
