some scratches
Smoked salmon, capers, dill
The two feet tall ginger baby
wearing a monkey hat
holding an orange purse as long as she was
with a hand extended in the air
Streak of blood staining the blue seat
Remnants of someone’s relieved dinner
splayed in the corner
Black grocery bag
contents unknown
Shifting feet to a beat
Hooded teenager with a skateboard
hopping off at 14th St
Plaid shoe shaken by an impatient leg
The speed and power of the express train
racing through underground tunnels
beneath you
