From the Maddening Crowd
I trudge
Down the road with the others
We don’t hold hands
or speak to each other, or
peer in the distance
Nobody mutters my poem
Or read the unwritten memoir
The old rule is
You keep trudging
The new rule is
You can’t see where you go
The truth is that,
Tomorrow again,
I will wear my dreams
On the sleeves of my blue shirt
And disclaim yesterday as an expedition.
