Unfair

Winding stone steps
Short yellow lights
A gnome's delight.

Tall grass with tassle blooms
Ground cover in periwinkle
Perrenials in yellow and royal blue.

A creek to my left,  heard but unseen, grows silent beneath my feet.
To my right it rushes downhill then under another street.

Atop the hill the view is bright and clear. I stop to take a photo of Mt Rainier. I'd pay a million dollars if I had it, to live in a house up here.

Then again,  I walk this street nearly each and every day. It seems unfair that they've paid so much for the view I see for free.
