A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor

First Person
Back Porch
by Michael Wnuk
June 13, 2007

From the back porch
I'm on the edge of the world
Beyond what I can see is mystery
The Columbine and new tomato plants
The grass in need of mowing
The fresh thick, fragrant summer air
All of it pleases me as I look out
I wonder about what lay beyond
Other back yards full of promise
Hidden from view of the busy road
My own private Eden, exclusive

About the author:
I'm a guy who once was active and employed, but now recovering from back surgery. It's difficult to de-program to the inactive but I'm able. I'm 52, a musician of sorts and a student of life.
