This day
Autumn shouts
No
She shivers
I swing the door open
There
The gumball machine the candy case
The soft drink cooler
I sit a minute & watch on the wall
Old town men
Tipping their hats
Proper in their woolen cloaks
& the ladies & the children in the square
The ladies
Musing
The newest in fashion & modern living
The children
Running & chasing a ragged ball
Its stitches dissolving before their eyes
&
A train sputters filling with water
Deer & antelope
Charade
On the plain outside of town
&
Tonight a winter moon

I order a ham salad sandwich
