Somewhere in Suburbia

The whippoorwill flies past
     And pulls on its ribbon
Things we leave behind
     And lose without thinking —
We don't miss them
     And we can't, like the cat,
Play them to life, with paws
     And large white eyes.

But we say of the sky
     That the pink is how we feel,
And how could the cloud even know,
     So perfectly, who we are?
