six daze - public poetry project.

six daze

on that clock

ticktickticking

kickkickkicking

my thinking

activity

into overdrive

out

the door this morning

first thing for errands

i willed

myself

back

into the present

as i stepped

out

into the rain

into the chill

i stopped

snapped a photo

a public art piece by choice

before

i stopped

to watch them walk

to the end of the block

with the sound of an abandoned chime
