Postcard Poetry: Day 17






Translation:
_____

On today's walk I see

A girl in a Dodgers hat
lighting up a cigarette
while riding a bike.
Two sisters hold hands
while watching a neighbor
struggle up her front
steps. Squirrel crossing the
road looks like a bouncing
brown ribbon dancer. My
lunchtime beer served in a
tall wine glass, "Brown
Sugar" on the jukebox. /

  1. I know what I love about this but can't for Christ's sake think of the right word. Not dichotomy - not juxtaposition... but the thing where you contrast the seemingly healthy girl with the smoke, then the selfish girls and the old lady, beer in a wine glass (and at lunch, no less). Fantastic!
