It has been a nice day, guys. I wrote this. Thought I would share it.
On My Way to the University
I saw a poem
blowing sideways
in the windwake
of a delivery truck.
So I followed it
halfway across the city,
while it twirled up again,
leaping effortless
over parades of cars
and people walking.
And I would have caught it.
But it came so suddenly.
Landed in a puddle of melted snow.
And dissolved.
