Notes About The Poem

for Lola Capicola RocknRolla

City Walk

City Walk (or Lola)

A city walk.
Springtime and a scarf bundled about the Adam’s apple.
A wedge of lemon. That sucked.
A triangle of mandarin.
Or two. Now five

A city walk.
A pitty.  The dog wouldn’t calm.
Orange peel tossed beside a
banana peel.

Two men talk,
as women might.
As they think women
might mightlessly not fight.

A tennis ball.
Another's.
Just beyond (incomprehensibly) beyond
the nose, beyond the diamond wall.

Two skipping stones.
Found.
On this lakeless valley
city walk.
