The wind blew me away today.
It picked me up off my feet and swept me past
the windows in the office building
Where the people work next door.
I didn’t have much time to see them
working at their desks
before I was carried above the rooftops
and the trees
into the clear sky.
Below me I could see the cars in line
at the traffic light
and the people leaving the luncheonette.
They looked happy
But rushed.
The wind whirled me in a sudden gust,
making me do a loop-the-loop
before setting me gently down right where I started.
Nobody saw it happen
And nobody would believe me if I told them.
But that’s ok.
I hope it’s windy again tomorrow.
