Coexistence
city of increasing fervor
heavy with sealed glass windows
in vaulted towers
sky-high protection
from the steady spew of cars
urban sidewalks in the
private grayness of fall
where sparrows
in a small
rush of flutter
(like a jailbreak)
peck at specks of
discarded rice
paths of commonality
in people spaces of
rapid trudging
that re-jigs
cellphone foot work
a jump at impulse
birds of an all forgiving grace
hop on concrete
beyond appearance
messy
to seize
the refuge of home
