evening


if you go slow
you arrive a little late
but you get there
with a better view
with more of a conscience

on the road
it is better to turn down the volume

caress the radio
as you see the lights
vanishing into the heavens

as you drive
you pay attention
it is when you are able
to become one with those who flee from you

at the threshold
i see the mother of the world
and her sister
they enter & complain about shopping carts

i believe such an apparition to be a good omen
i think of my mother in laws
and realize that we are in the middle
of fruits and vegetables

i walk past single mothers
i go around defeated husbands
i hand pick the best the selection has to offer
as i watch the military officer making a phone call
