an ordinary morning

an
ordinary
morning

::

at morning's
bright'ning light,

I strain with
all my might;

but these damn socks,
they're on too tight
                                   ---barbsdad
::

a songbird trills; a
uniformed man at the edge
of his garage fills

a dark-red gas can
with a hose; a wild rabbit
steals wraithlike across

the roadway; a bi-
cyclist pedals past;
a low-powered

motorcycle whines
at near distance; the moon gleams
white, full; a turtledove

hunches on a wire
overhead against the cool;
yet barely postdawn,

I walk
