Preferences Pedestrian

A faded white shirt
    accents his rumpled brown suit
  He takes his place unobtrusively
    sits content, quietly

  His preferences pedestrian
    narrowly bourgeoisie
  Guests sample exotic liquors
    His pleasure is tea

  He cares not for flaming duck, nor for pheasant-under-glass

The Pondering Pedestrian

One day I thought I'd take a walk,
So on that day I walked and thought.
I thought about the times we'd talk,
We talked about the life we sought.

A thoughtful life where we'd be proud,
And proudly go throughout the days.
Those days we thought to sing out loud,
About our thoughtful loving ways.

We'd sing a song and dance together,
And

The Pedestrian Flow

When MCO is off
The pedestrian flow
Streaming out of the stations
Maybe
A sign of prosperity
A sign of active politics 
I can see the backs
And the silhouettes of the crowd
Moving
No doubt
They are God's creations
But they have different dreams and expectations
But they are within the dirty  tricks of politicians
And anything can happen
Now we are facing
A poor economy
A controversial

Love's Vulnerable Pedestrian

Taoists recognize
all outside exposed inside egos
feel watched
when walking through
a new or, some stressed times,
even a long familiar
housed human eco-habitat

But some of us feel marginal,
suspected,
anxious about being judged
and shamed
and blamed
for assumed insufficiencies
at aggressively playing monoculturing win/lose
Straight 
WesternWhite 
Patriarchal 
eco-political games

And sometimes we feel anticipation,
privileged multicultural excitement
and active hope

That the multigenerational family
moving in next door
will have kids

Heavy Pedestrian Traffic

Saw a road sign, “HEAVY PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC”
Showed an overweight senior with large geographics
Kinda rude I'd say
But to me, it did slay
A dude with a sense of humor was surely the culprit

A Falcon, a Cobra, a Pedestrian, and Art of Death

A Falcon
                   It swoops.	
                Its eyes are

Collapsed Pedestrian Bridge

The new 950-ton bridge would beat
down time dashing to classes cheat
ting vulnerability asper thick traffic 
     putting life at risk, 
     thus laudatory alternative
 
     intending to offer Sweetwater 
     to last a lifetime would make fleet
(installed at Florida International University, 
     with eager pedestrians ready to greet 
crossing grand opening, 
     where local dignitaries didst meet 
   

A Pedestrian Bridge Fell

A Pedestrian Bridge Fell

On people and cars pedestrian bridge fell;
Killing those who we loved  and are swell;
Crumble and crack,
And won't be back;
For them this Sunday we will ring a bell.

Pedestrian Memories

I hate it when I think of you.
With no consideration of my schedule, or the details of my life.
Just as inconsiderate as a memory
As you were when you were here.

At first it’s unintimidating – a fleeting image.
Passing by innocently like a pedestrian at a crossway.
And then there comes the pain.
A sense of longing in the

Pedestrian

I can't seem to get it right he said,
he crushed the cigarette beneath his heel
I want to tell you why .

  the sun was in my eyes
I couldn't see what he was saying.

I had hated him all my life
because my mother told me to.

He held out his hand
The diamond ring flashed 
a rainbow in
