"It Doesn't Matter Where You Sit" poem 2013

Dear Everyone:

I am working on a project featuring
art and photography illustrating the
4 seasons.

Here is a recent piece on Summer.


"It Doesn't Matter Where You Sit"

Recently a friend spoke of sitting
lazily in a chair in Summer outside reading
a book, her dog at her feet
Summer-all about the outside
Being in the outdoors
Sit and daydream at the end of
a path overlooking the sea on a bench
Pull up a candy-coloured Airrondaack chair
to view the yachts on the water
Swing in your hammock
on your front porch
Sit in the park on the grass-
ignore "the don't walk on the grass" signs
Or at the beach-pile onto a beach towel
or blanket and watch the children building
sandcastles or playing ball
By the ocean, at the marina, in the park-
it really doesn't matter where you sit-
in my imagination-Summer is blue sky
and endless, fluffy, white clouds


Helen.
