not being run over
he continued -- not seeing it as continuing --
blissful and complete --
crossing the parking lot
in confident certainty
nothing could touch him
that he was in full control
that everything he could see
and even that he could not
would bow to him
and in this instance
he was right
had i a hat on
i would have tipped it
certain his eye twinkled
catching sunlight
or deference
the right of the nearly elderly
far from the confused wide-eyed blur of infancy
now sure of how the world works
free to ignore by preference
focus on what matters
tuscan bread
unripe bananas
white tulips

side note
While this blog's original purpose was to keep myself honest in my practice of doing daily justwrites-- 10-minute freewrites from some unusual starting points-- it has meandered to occasionally include other sorts of writing, to address other goals, and to even include other authors. Now, its main function is as a sort of verbal/ thought outcropping in public view. These are not polished pieces, and most are completely rough drafts. As some pieces may be developed through revision, your comments are most appreciated.
