Villanelle – The Street
# 13 – VILLANELLE (THE STREET)
From my window I can see the street
Children playing, riding bikes
Cars drive by and the passengers wave at me
Neighbors gather with each other to greet
Taking time for conversations of the friendly type
From my window I can see the street
Where sons learn to ride on two wheels instead of three
And fathers watch carefully because fall he might
Cars drive by and the passengers wave at me
Mom takes a cake to the new lady she wants to meet
But I’ll just stay inside the cool house and eat a bite
From my window I can see the street
Prop my feet up on a stool and take my seat
Before a sudoku puzzle, I pause to take in the sight
Cars drive by and the passengers wave at me
The neighborhood overflows with people full of glee
What a happy little place filling the world with light
Cars drive by and the passengers wave at me
From my window I can see the street
