(fido) window wars
window wars
tonight, the chalky white alley wall
and the coffee shop reflections
are at war
in the window world between.
overhead the bricks have begun to sprout
yellowish lamp lights
while the bearded man behind the counter,
apparently unaware of the paint specks
that have fallen from his forehead,
casually hands a window sill latte
to an off-white smear of a customer.
the drainpipe,
attempting to hold a stoic pose,
is quickly undermined by a pair of
checkered leggings
that sway a lazy beat below.
and in the middle of it all
floats a red-headed smile
with a graffiti halo.
a short war it was though,
for just as the gaunt young woman with the
manhole cover for a foot
was about to join the fracas,
a careless driver, with
a wrong turn and a bright
flash of light,
reminded both worlds of their place.
