optimism and pessimism poem

Three Vignettes by Donald Wayne Jackson

August laughing wind
bouncing against the open window
extending a finger
into the corner of the summer
to ease the curtain aside
and gently blow a kiss
on my sweating brow

optimism
and pessimism
should be joined
so that we
could still look forward...
warily

who did yesterday
finish off?
were they people
I might have liked?
