Take a Walk
Patrick Benignus Bennett copyrighted
Took walk down smoke alley, formerly
Henry street; now, like industrial age smoke stacks billowing, staggered
Grey waste bins ashtray tops release steady stealth smoke stream into passing crowds
Two dudes skillful blow ancient instrument from far away land, toss coins and halt to listen, admire
Assorted peoples nationalities classes in constant side-stepping; and a regular
One of Fagan’s sits sleep slumped with foam cup
How many, associate this time
With chocolate treats
Who is winning in that smybolic department
Advertisers or God
Store competition, guess how many eggs in perspex cabinet
Life competition, is there humankind solution that could keep it altogether
