Paris park with pigeons and fountains
last night’s wine bottle
tipped over
under the bench.
Late morning
bright paris springtime sun
open windows top floor
ten foot shadows on hardwood.
Scooters upon scooters
upon scooters upon
scooters upon scooters
upon scooters upon
scooters parked outside
the Japanese restaurant.
Accents down the
metro stairs
carrying luggage.
Cigarettes upon cigarettes
upon cigarettes upon
cigarettes upon cigarettes
upon cigarettes upon
cigarettes piled up
next to the sewege grate
after the rain.
