Quote #1
At a time when there was not tv before 3:00 P.M.
And on Sunday none until 5:00
We sat on the front porches watching
The jfg sign go on and off greeting
The neighbors (1-5)
We get a strong sense of happy nostalgia in the first few lines, as the poet speaks of a time with less distraction and lots of simple, civil interaction with neighbors.
