Family Scenes Seen

These last few weeks of summer are bringing changes.

As the temperatures hang in the 90s, a hot breeze swirls 

in the streets, a welcome relief as the sidewalks 

and buildings radiate the sun's warmth 

onto the passers-by and commuters.

Here people wait for their buses home, 

hoping that they will be able to ride in the

comfort of air conditioning.

Storms are forecast for the overnight, 

bringing a cold front that will provide 

a precursor of fall weather.

Too soon, we'll all be cursing the cold

weather as we stand in snow and frigid air,

waiting for buses that provide a few

minutes shelter in snug warmth.
