I should always write first

what's in the works for the world
nosey morning
filling up space
with other grain glass

half spent farm shares

there will be a bike's share
a fast smidgen
uncollected by the day.
when night comes
she is ambushed
by carrier pigeons

A Walk Downtown Instead

Feeling power in numbers Or loose around the bumpers The walkers cross in pack So I attack Not the front or back end Not a claw for the weakest I punish the middle Attacking what will scatter Then confusion Perhaps a resolution I yell at a biker, too Making slow movements through Preferring the slipstream I say, "hey, homie, use your bell!" He was ahead, but now behind Using me to face the grind That's what I think of chumming It's a good flow when traffic isn't coming But congestion isn't for the weak of heart And beginners make for cold dinners -- 7.31.13
