Things I Saw on the Road Today

Potholes, plot holes–
muddled, indiscernible–
tiny twigs and papery leaves–
like dreams–
crushed–
under my feet.

Shits, many kind:
dog, cow and low-
lives blemished–
by the brown bliss.

Street vendors, paragons–
of our democracy and–
pernicious polices–
patrolling.

A dirty piece of paper–
empty–
this one.
