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.
