Sparrow Road

I am a cross section

hit right between the eyes

by the glorious descent of the sun's rays

into left & right

hatred & love

modern & eternal

The water is moving!

Of course, the water is moving

it’s shaking with the vibrations of how

loud everything is

I am Heisenberg in this place

an agent of change

and a constant victim of that prowess

I am a catalyst

I am a sore thumb to my own hand

The geese swoop down & I am reset 

I cling to my little bath of sun

Clinging to the little breathe of quiet bay

*

“SCOUT!”

I will murder your children

(let the dog fucking play)

I will murder your fat loud shitty haircut sporting

offspring if you or they shout the name of that

poor dog who just wants to run

again

*

As I watch the sky turn orange

a quiet couple walks together but independently

passed me

and the ocean is teal. It knows.

just for me

And I’m in love

just for a second

but long enough to keep the hate at bay
