Sketches - 9 (August 17th, 2014)

9.


Sunday grey day Sabbath and
snarl engine car start
for cranberry juice
        and donuts.


As I make the early morning jaunt and forget
            myself -
on the run for donuts, approx a dozen
or so (er so)
thinking about varieties of
power struggles, meek bird chirp
message on arrival to Pettit’s
Donuts on 16th street off the dim
shoulder of downtown Omaha
across the street from Sol’s Pawn
               disco/rap/hip-hop thump-bump
               from some unseen passerby
               junk car vehicle mayhaps
               closer to the pawn shop across
               the street.


And it occurs to me as I hear the wiry
early morning bird sing-song whip blurt
that the only answer is to be active at all
                             times.
