wawa

wawa
that is what you see
not 
baby talk 
for water
but 
american 
indian 
language for 
goose

yesterday 
i stood before this 
beautiful scene of water
and later
drove by this 
field of 
geese

the weather 
is spectacular
this week

i've 
always 
loved the fall

and fall 
in 
new jersey
is turning out 
to be 
quite pleasant

even though 
people keep 
hinting and whispering
about the 
supposed 
snow that is 
coming...
"the weather 
caster says it's 
gonna be a bad 
winter this year."

i cover my ears 
and savor the 
now

the wawa 
are flying
the water is glistening
the temperature
is perfect 
today.
