Noticing Everything

When you first stand in a deep forest

you notice first how quiet it is

then how much there is of everything

and how little

if you live in a city

you ever saw there

It’s like waking up the first morning of summer vacation

and realizing you don’t have to go to school

don’t have to go anywhere

and can take your time

about not going anywhere
