Out the Back Window

Looking out, over the sink of dishes
Out onto the alley, the stories
Walking by my view
Wondering who the people are,
The man in the worn jeans walking purposely
The car with the booming bass, the boy on the bike
The neighbor walking the pit bull,
Straining on the leash.
Different cultures reflected,
A microcosm, melting pot
Just beyond the cars, in the alley
Out the back window.
