Looking up
at the spray
of elm leaves--
They're floating yellow and green
on seafoam
On a crowded sidewalk
or taking a shower
and straddling
the narrow bathtub
I wish I was Japan-sized
Today
I release
the voltage
of a battery full-up charged
Bring it New York!
Let me be
your bonfire
or jumped-in leaf pile
or your jellyfish
floating transparent
All the Chinese women
on the D train
are wearing knit caps
Wrapped huddled
against the poles
Felt so good
I rode the bus
all the way home
Took forever
But got to see everybody
My jean jacket's
cracked and stiff
like it hung
from a hook
in a stable
