a Walk

(for Vinnie)

Trace the track
—intractable.

That we pull
the duck wheel foot

behind us waddling.
This afternoon,

a cruel commute.
Solar dust

congregating
into latticework.

And I walked
down that road

—with Vin,
underneath the

setting sun.
No one

talked. We walked
to the corner store.

Free March Madness
at the Vic.
