6708 cahill (winterstreet).

by Andrew S Adams

out the window, a breathfogged
masterpiece of tic-tac-toe boards,
i notice the peculiarity of the occasional
headlight passing down this road;
i feel compelled to take off.
to fly, without wings or mind.
just senseless, careless whimsy.
just myself, my socks, the snow and the street.

what a dog i am, chasing the tail lights off into the distance.
next time, i'll retrieve my shoes.

I've been waiting for this, the unforced - simple truth of a moment. I felt myself in this, great work. :)
