Solstice

In the shade
of a breezed and green
 corner of Hunterdon County New Jersey

I sat and watched families return from trail
the bicyclists clacked and graveled,
everyone brought their own in laden racks, or stowed
in the back of pickups,
 when they could rent one for five dollars a day

The old Asian lady
camped at the picnic table
speaking to her cell phone
 and tapping to her tablet

Bluebirds hustled for a worm
everyone drank a lot of water
and were scantily clad
on the longest day
 of the year
