there's an impatience
in the words
like the equinox at full sun
taking off in all directions
and even as i write
i'm never sure 
where it's all going
or how the meaning
will be sensed 
or even if in fact
there is a meaning
the trucks move
along the avenue
as if they have 
a schedule & destination
     a hidden cargo
     a secret like these very words
or nothing
     more than clanging shopping carts
     in a parking lot
     of empty pockets
