to my right:
moon-viewing
to my left:
waterline
i scan for kingfisher
but i see this man
he is building his own boat
and the swans are not happy
and the cows are indifferent
and where are the day owls?
kids smoke weed by the rail bridge
like things haven't changed
i think maybe they have shrunk a little
like my patience, i want to say
but that's not true -
like hope, perhaps,
but maybe that's patience too
like pigeon's whole lifetime
in moments fleeting
