startling banals
29 September 2010
like a top
spinning around itself
falling leaf
spinning around itself
falling leaf
there was a baby boy
humming to himself
on the rush hour train
i smiled
he smiled back
i pretended to sleep
he looked away
giggling shyly
giggling shyly

a baby on the train
with one hand
drinking milk from a bottle
and holding mom's forearm
with the other
drinking milk from a bottle
and holding mom's forearm
with the other
streetlights, billboards and cars
hanging heavy on the horizon-
an orange moon
hanging heavy on the horizon-
an orange moon
today
an old employee
who sits on a stool every day
at the train station,
was applying lipstick
hiding
behind a booth
