the streets are shimmering

the
streets are shimmering in anticipation

don’t
disappoint the day don’t
blacken
the sky with thoughtless emotions
you are
somewhere
absent
            minded
                         or
engrossed
                           in daily routine

quit it

step
under
a ladder
walk on
cracks

tell your
boss you got urgent
business
like writing a poem

going for
a walk

anything
you like but fast

this
moment
the
streets shimmer
                         in anticipation
