....tis nevertoolate...
to do sumthin new...
to learn sumthin... be sumthin...
....give sumthin to....
me walk a path t'other day,
...close by my happyhome
pick up a plastic bag whut in my way
as I walk alone...
...stoop I, and pick it up...
candywrappers bottlecaps cigarettepacks and their butts
it all go in my handybag
I walk a couple miles
It runs along a beach ya know
whut gimme secret smiles
cause I can't hardly believe sumtimes
thisplace, so close to me
three blocks away, in hidden bklyn
an outlet to the sea...
sumtimes I walk in sunrise
sumtimes just as it sets
sumtimes in the middle of the heat of the day
pick a rock, or bench... and rest....
...and I look out over a glittering bay
fiddlercrabs scuttle & dance...
gulls coast up overhead
herons stand stockstill...and balance....
I wander on...bend and pick....
...meet no one on my way
my bag filled up...
....by the time me done....
My goodDeed for the Day.
