Description
a strange fellow
bestowed his slow strut
upon the side-walk
catercorner from
my car.

(I watched as if
the light
would never
               change.)

one hand-to-
mouth
the other flailed
as if conducting
the wild orchestra
that was his own
wandering
eyes.

he was just-more-
than walking in place
as the sun kicked
pretty silver
from the wet-
prerequisite of
a spit-
shined chin.

(the horns
of those behind me
had begun to
sound.)

this man did not
know the world
that imprisoned me

NO!
      he existed
the way dogs dream;
legs kicking, barking, whining,
merely reacting

here
to occurrences
in another realm

and as cars
flew past
honking,
     middle fingers like
thin-tubby little-
flesh microphones
to amplify the,
Move it asshole!

there was a place
I'd rather be.
