serendipity
The I (who)
(he) living, as he does
on smoke, caffeine, onions, rice
TexMex refried beans
and various prepackaged cheers
standing
blownsole limousines by the next
bus pottyhole
waited calmly in the rain
for more minutes
which came finally
safe astride a leaf from Greenlake
floating like a bug
cuddled up
to an unexpected late-night phone call
