Walkway Counting Feet
drills shrilly nosed into plywood
as storefronts were shuttered along
the walkway.
hazy tapwater sunlight diluted the
dogwood tree planted at center.
as a patch of pigeons were thrown
above it, whose wings became black
sticks across its white blooms.
frantically searching for the old man that
would normally feed them.
up ahead that brolic, mustachioed Puerto Rican
street vendor has been unstapled from the
sidewalk--his unheard cadences hustling the
numbers off watches.
