Chambers Street
IND line
Follow the
green arrow.
Hesitantly, I press
a thousand thoughts
upon the subway steps.
Soaked spinach in the sink
Sour steak upon the stove.
Piled papers in the pantry.
Broiled blankets at the bakery.
Charcoaled carrots at the cleaners.
Crystal cats in my cranium.
Pace...pace
to keep the pace.
Find yourself
a dirty corner
like a hard grey pigeon
who eats her feathers.
