Today's Callous
by
Helen Paquin
Today
The tightness
The tension
In the out-of-doors
That once ago
Were inviting
Exciting-
For bird watchers
Star gazers
Hand in hand
Heart strollers-
Children playing
It's uncertain now
The out-of-doors
Where any minute
There's the unknown
Missle, or bullets
Searching for you
