Finding a near quiet place
is mostly a case of luck,
and when you’ve found it
bring a book
to fill an afternoon.
Drunk finches will doze
away the long afternoon
and squirrels want their share too.
A wind picks up
making you hold each page
being read.
All before the rush home
from work ends
any quiet briefly gained.
