Heal Thyself, Heal The Neighborhood

Dawn in summer is the best
I woke up at 4:45 with this phrase in my head
Heal thyself, heal the neighborhood
The moon is a 'D' shape in the sky.
I've opened windows to let in the cool air.
The neighborhood addict is going through all of our trash-recycle bins
He is a big and scary guy with a limp and a stutter.
I've met him a few times walking in the park.
My dog has gone back to bed.
I could go swimming now. The pool is open.
In the summer I am an ice farmer.
iced coffee, iced seltzer, iced beer, there's never enough ice.
Ice is the luxury of luxuries
and baths too!
