Days get shorter
Overnight darkness lingers longer
Walking at the usual time
Now dark:30
Days, in fact, seem never to begin
Nature’s clock calibrated to
time not matched by the light
Walking at the usual time
Still dark:30
Over and under bridges
Along the boardwalk
Beside the open theatre
Morning greetings from
Robert, Charles, James
Rosemary and Sarah
Days, in fact, seem never to end
Homeless clocks calibrated to
time not found in the light
