sloping from the TransCanada:
a road crew to repair the prairie rain that slid the hill down the sidewalk
three riders on one wheelchair, chasing cross-traffic
a pedestrian bridge where kids leap up, just as the cars pass beneath
used spiderman webs, dangling from rescue trees
wading pool asthma
and three blackbirds, pecking at peanut shells beside the hot yoga shala
could tomorrow pack in murderball and taxes, a porch sonata and processed wedding speeches, emails to two Karls, and leg passports?
when didn’t hot-and-bothered last all night?
but how much ink on paper defines a thorough edit?
A Voice, then a Crow.
friends fly east, west, and north. I sit facing south, in the shade, late in the evening, on a flat piece of cement, dying for loopholes
and when tomorrow isn’t what the early-bird brings?
