The FAB&PP Poem of the Month for December 2021


unpleasant
sounds pigeons
inside
crapping on
the floor
commuters
travelers
breakfast waiting
at the counter

phones off laptops
on display
devices ready to
intrude onto
neighboring
spaces

the shadow
of the centenary
rippling
across the
embankment

footwear
and eyes
are
all one can
go on
(yoga pants and
sweats not
withstanding)
though
rudeness
can overtake them

so this is the
morning I've been
waiting
for

weep
and three
little foxes

more stops

but now
   on the way
home
