Biking/walking without headphones

Because you’ll miss it.

The three youth hawks up in the trees

chatting with one another.

The church choir practicing ‘take me out to the ballgame’

on a Sunday afternoon.

The person who compliments

your bike

Your hair

Your fit

The neighbor that says good morning.

Or the one who declares

‘you’re what they call a

brick

house’.

The podcast can wait.

Live with the world for a while,

You’ll see things you don’t even believe.
