Shading the Painting by Kristina Woodhill I admire Mt. Vernon's neighborhood    deciding to keep itself      its abodes as under story their intact aging forest       overshadowing all aspects    of blocks and blocks        of residential life enter this forest scape        turning right onto 18th street sunglasses and hats off imagination turn-on here spinning tree rings practiced           decades of addition      along side every child's simple math           fairies live here      gnomes in whimsical hats        flit behind the massive sequoia          where cousin Larry used to live a deer could graze here unnoticed wall clocks' hands idly play cribbage       forgetting to peg points intimacy thrives     no one demands a view out a community content 04/04/2016 Author's Note: Mt.
