There were a few things
That I saw today and
Wanted to make a note of.
One, a chair sitting on a
Fire escape, with rusty water
Pooled, rusty gutters dripping.
Two, a milk shake fallen open
On the train, rolling along the
Plastic floor, melting.
Three, a young woman, walking
With a limp, in front of me
In the bright morning sun.
