it was the night of crows playing tic tac tree
changing their prospectives quite easily
perhaps they are part of the new administration
and since it was windless..well enough said

the binky woman was wiggling her foot in sandals
had her newspaper wrapped disposable bottle
with orange juice and ice cream, little girl sized
so she had to hold it in both hands

and she burped after too much air and blushed
and said a woman her age should have manners
but at her age who gives a damn if she does or not
it didn't scare the crows so god wouldn't mind

and her tonka tommy was asleep in his walker anyway

daark (highway series)  

just a snapshot of an old couple at the bus stop...she was drinking an oj float she made (can't bring your own drinks in they say) and her hubby of 40 years was asleep, probably dreaming of when he was a boy with his tonka truck in the dirt lot world of his back yard...

Went through your poem twice and well may be understood it partly .However i liked the way you have described our contemporary times and values.

Your eyes record a moment and your pen renders it special and transforms it into a captivating story.

Amazing.

Love,

Excellet!  All there ever really does seem to be in the moment, and you have done your usual fine job at capturing it!
