Ice is out of the harbor, open water
teal colored, its whitecap lace shining.
Only one mound of snow
remains in my lane,
the black squirrel is getting frisky,
and Reuben's tulips are rising.
Cranes and crows and gulls
trumpet awake! awake!
 
The postmistress is smiling again,
J.J.'s and The Pig jumpin'.
Al's goats are dreaming
of returning to the roof, and
any day now, Barney will plunge
off the town dock and be happy.
Joel is in his coffee shop
inventing a new tartine,
Jeannie and Lost Mothra
are writing new songs.
 
Chuck the baker/sailor/poet
is peddling his good bread
and I'm considering raking the garden,
writing a poem or two,
or washing winter from my windows,
till I come to my senses and realize
the absolute necessity
of watching grass grow.
