I love the contrasts in this world.

The repeating rows of perfectly mowed suburban lawns interrupted
by one rebel of a front yard planted in wild flowers.

Summer at the lake with hundreds of barely suited swimmers
and one Muslim family splashing about together in full length robes
of floating gossamer colors.

Dozens of island visitors wandering in circles around the Menemsha parking lot
and in front of the fishing shacks
each having loud private cell phone conversations
while the business of catching their supper
goes on quietly
out back.
