"best of" poem of the day 04.21.16

01.03.2011

on the bus ride

home

i watch greek kids

slapping

each other silly

they smell

of garlic

and old clothes

they won’t stop

shouting

as an old man

sneaks

a beer from under

his coat

while outside

they are taking

holiday lights down

from the church

these are the most

beautiful things

that i’ve seen

all day.
