Guard this dapple-dawn-drawn Falcon


THE REAL McCOY WAS A BEATNICK DO-NOTHING

or

THE HEAD OF CONGRESS

Four-thirty in the a.m. and I find myself once again standing at the 401 stop, corner of Rochester and Davie, waiting for the night bus to take me home.

WHY ARE YOU STARING

at me, who's staring at the ground, who's innocuous.

I AM A MOLE

but I can't burrow into concrete. I try and dodge my shadow, more like a sullen dwarf sulking under me, small, round, quite exact and fat. Straight underneath a streetlight is a nice place to be

SOMETIMES COMFORT ME, BUT ONLY JUST

No one touches this little pool of me and my waiting.
