A Spring Escape

There was a man today

Sitting at a bus stop in front of a church

In a neighborhood I had never looked to see

Full of houses orange, yellow, and green

The sun was soft and buttery

The sky lilac-blue fairy’s beard

He sat next to trees prickly on the skin

Scented strong of pollen

And I crave to have this moment

A pleasant wait for a great escape
