Poem: "The Return"

"The Return"

Today is Monday
the lights shine
a little too brightly

scantily clad pedestrians
crowd the sidewalk
antsy and overheated

not a cloud in the sky
the forecast calls for
a steady downpour

of upturned, anxious
gate crashing road rage
adrenaline, plastic tube

respirators at the ready
the twilight of angry
40-something soccer mobs

is about to descend
upon the populace of
the town
Hope, 2 by 4

the babies in the street
can't shield their eyes much longer
lest the foreboding Tonka psychopaths
cast a sultry, knowing glare.
