Animal Instinct

little red

baby's shoe,

always wondered why it was there.

orange sky

like marmalade,

against black toast

(tombstone heads)

thinking about

nothing at all,

really

maybe the way

water squirts

under my shoe.

new shoe

(with neon pink laces)

i may look like

i am jogging but

i assure you sir

i am running sir

oh my god

get out of the way bitch

and you too,

owner-of-said-bitch

blocking my path

with your poo

i can smell

coffee and bread

from the house

across the street

i

wonder if

the little boy has woken up yet.
