I Saw You…[#1]{Guest Poet}

September 9, 2009

poetry in transit

I saw you…

Your black knitted cap covered

cherry Kool-aid hair

color as natural as its flavor

your artfully torn

fishnets

announced you were fishing.

most fish would escape

but you know your quarry.

I watched

surprised

as you traded

genuinely friendly

salutations

with a more conventionally

dressed

friend(?).

Of course,

at the bottom of the stairs

you each went

your

separate ways.
