  The Evening Light Crossing Paths with the Young


Our parents suggest we are less than disciplined
as if saying that would be a thing we could

obfuscate into something else largely audible.
And what, in return, were we to say:  a pack of dogs

pissed their way down the street; a woman
stopped us for a cigarette; and, it was truly

warm.  The sky was blue and the stoplight red
where we suddenly waited.  What was the point?

That night we walked barefooted beneath obscured
constellations to the pier's end; we met some girls

and saw that tucked in darkness near the highway
a bathroom door was left open and still lit.
