Across a University Campus

huffing and puffing
young men in shorts -
playing soccer

beep-beep-beep
backhoe reversing
still doing 8/29 repairs

crunch
stepping on
dry leaves in green grass

I see your campus footballers. They don't sound very fit. I reckon, at 60, I could run round them. As the young men are already huffing and puffing I think to myself: what are they going to be like when they are not-so-young?
What's the reason? Is it the supersize portions or what?

I like the panoramic snapshots you capture across the campus, Isabel. They're unique to that specific time and place.

Nora - I like them because these are my winter scenes. I won't see snow unless there is a fierce Artic front that makes it to New Orleans

P-I-R - The footballers are not fit probably due to the junk food they eat, the other rich food here, beer.
Plus, this is a commuter university; besides studying, most of the students have one or two part-time jobs. So exercise is not a high priority; sleeping, working, and studying are higher on the list.
