escaping the office
I see
across the highway
on the levee

a sandaled fat man
moving a mute stroller child,
2 fuzzy slobbering barkers
leading the puffing woman
they tugging her pushing
each other along
next to fatty and baby joy
moving as one
to the end line

on the levee.

We all grasp
the last warmth
Kissing it goodbye
Shaking hands with the cold
at the same damn time

on the levee.

Now & here my sky is
ultra blue

On the levee back side –
Its black pool eyes
blankly cut through us

It all shadow faced – snow-encrusted
As moisture moves
To spit upon us
