Book three of impromptu trilogy.

  The Evening Light Shedding Its Anticipation of Rush Hour


Our journey then began as a misdirected predilection
toward a median suddenly full with the mystery of life

and headlights jockeying across a raised concrete slab.
The wistful, hapless, urban shrubberies among the crowded

gray memorials—time and time immemorial and memorabilia
longing to wander off through a scattered jointfir, or, to

moor a sleek pleasure craft and then swim to a beach offering
dirt streets and simple drunkenness in tin bars; unfounded

indifference.  ...that which flaps like a seabird beginning flight
moves beyond fear or consummate worry; the imagination

drifts in like a small sun or a bulb through a curtained window
as we seem in ancillary repose, slowly headed toward it.
