Early Morning Walk

Fall is diminishing on this new day,

Tell me what you saw,

Jung lives in graffiti and a bag of potatoes on the sidewalk,

A man wearing a fez gestures emotionally,

Children stare from a glassed-in playroom,

But we can only wave and smile before

Being ushered away silently.

Motorcycles or motor-psychos have their own

Brew now.

A vegan patio, a robed tattoo artist, a bookstore that knits.

None of this is surreal, just unreal,

There is a difference, you know.
