Last night I had just about entirely convinced myself
to take the bus home
(bad)
when I stepped outside
and was seduced
once again
by the sky
into walking
A big soft pink spring sky
and soft spring air too
impossible to resist
And on the way home
I saw a small brown paper lunch bag
that someone had put over the top of a fire hydrant
with a frowny face drawn on neatly
in black magic marker
the effect was comical
And the workers seen through the window of a restaurant
bustling around in their sweatshirts
getting ready for the dinner service
reminded me of actors backstage before a play
