HUNGRY WATER




Coffee @ 25th & Union

Strolling past
like Christ on a Crutch

Everything owned
attached to battered-ness
or in shopping carts

Contact or greeting
a baited hook in
hungry water

Reverse fishing
make the cast

become the catch

No current strong enough
to allay – can you spare…

Eyes and smile

Neither Jew nor gentile
neither black nor white nor native

but all of us

in the stark reality
that none of us
are free.
