poem of the day 08.11.15

meeting at fort hamilton avenue

and bay ridge parkway

and

then chung

says

remember

hey, remember last week

when you look back again

because you see me

and i see you

and i wave

and you wave

hey, remember we see each other

at fort hamilton avenue

at bay ridge parkway

we see each other

chung says

so happily

yes

yes we did

i say

because i don’t have the heart

to tell him

that i only

looked back again

because i thought

i saw

that B4 bus

coming up

behind his hysterically

waving hands

the bus that never seems to show up

on time

that huffing chariot of hell

that hardly ever shows up

at

all.
