A Two Carafe Coffee Day

Labor Day
is a two carafe coffee day
the only thing I want to do
is write.

I go to the kitchen,
pour myself another cup of coffee
and then stand at the window
looking out into the street.

I watch children
riding their bicycles
past my window,
I smile
because they are using the sidewalk
rather the riding
them in the street,

It isn't safe
to ride bicycles
in the street
because drivers speed
the wrong
without considerations
for pedestrians
or bicycling children.
