21/30 - man crossing street

(I'm running out of reserves and so many of the rest of the poemlets don't seem all the way cooked...here's a shorty.)


man crossing street

sunday morning early on a sunny brisk
carrying glass cup latte and scent of bacon
drag of cigarette
across kentish town road

how nice to be a man
who smokes while drinking coffee
cooks and eats bacon
crosses street without looking
certain he will not be harmed.

i couldn’t do it.  not any of it.
