First short-sleeve day
as the rays of the sun
upon my face
brings color to my cheeks,
burning winter's pallor.
Only one layer separates me
from the elements.
My feet are warm
in the outdoors
for the first time in months...
People in t-shirts
and bone-colored shins
beneath baggie shorts
smile as the strut about
as if enjoying an inside joke.
Lawyers and litigants in business suits
walk with ties hanging loose,
but the home boys,
still with the hoodies
act as if nothing has changed,
that the world is just the same...
the pattern, perhaps
but not the moment...
