from?

by Queen4aday


old houses

dust

dirt

loud hip hop music

bouncing

down the street

(although

i cant hear it

just

feel

the beat)



in a worn-

out

chair

as i smell

my dad making

a new recipe

(never

to be

repeated

again)

surrounded

by piles

of too many books



trash

blowing

in the wind

(crinkle

crackle

crunch

under my feet)

laughing

running

across

the street



south branch

library

(the smell of books

sweet

but yet sour)

in the shade

we sit



from

or to?

The excellent ending made me read the poem again. I like the sensory language. Good job!
