A Pedestrian Poem

Time is moving slowly today

and that’s good, I am sort of free

so time to drink it in.

The responsible monsters

peer at me from a dark corner

Boris Karloffs version sits cross legged

on a wooden stiff chair

and regards me with cold boredom

out of the corners of his eyes.

The rest of them are rather humdrum

faceless and formless

lurking behind Boris

with thoughts of car batteries and litter boxes

flowers and water hoses

grass and work clothes

dirty dishes and garbage cans.

I look down and see the chains on my wrists

but they aren’t attached to anything

so I decide that I will drag them around.

Well, I said sort of free.
