Replacing The Old Roof
Replacing the old roof I had a commanding view
Of the world of which I was a part.
Between hammer blows vision wandered
And I saw the octogenarian sitting on that......
That shaky legged bench on the plot of ground
Only he traversed.
Hammering on I did advance and as I did
I saw the preteens on the other side
Jumping on the trampoline
Oblivious to how the day advanced.
Time was now, always now,
No need for yesterday or tomorrow.
No need to know that one replaced a roof
Or sat upon a shaky legged bench alone.

This takes me back in time with the language you express here. You have such ability to take the reader into another world. You are very talented!
Very thought provoking. I haven't found a runt in the litter. This reminds me of Robert Frost.
