“Sometimes”
By Bob Perks

“It is how I was raised. Now that I look back
I see how limiting that was and wonder how much
more I could have accomplished,” he said.
“What’s stopping you now?” I asked.
It was a simple word but in his childhood it
was more of a philosophy.
Sometimes.
I watched that day as two men played cards in
a nearby park. It was a warm, sunny day blessed
with an occasional breeze just when you needed it.
I saw it as the kind of day I would rather be resting
in a lounge chair in my yard with a cool drink within
reach. Eyes closed, baseball cap tilted slightly
over my eyes to shade them from the sun.
Here I was, walking in the park perhaps in search of
the perfect tree to sit under while watching the
world go by. It is another one of my favorite
things to do; watch the world go by.
