Framed in the City Window

August 18, 2020

Framed in the city window
an all black cat poised in prayer position
The short punk Rock hair
on the passing long-legged teenager
must have been caught
in a pencil sharpener,
the wood shavings from the pencil
stick sticking.
Tourists wearing carefully selected clothes
augmenting their hometown styles,
while those whose homes are the streets seem
more relaxed.
The wind whipping it all
as though an electric mixer
trying to make a bowl of mashed potatoes.
High rise apartments houses;
human honey combs.
