I cut through the Blackhawk Museum lot.
The fountain was working harder than my errand.

Daily Smile
All smilesThe fountain was working harder than my errand.
I walked it twice. The errand could wait.
The strollers had the right of way, and the trail agreed.
The clock tower watched, on time, as usual.
The meter and I began a brief relationship.
Hartz Avenue already knew.
So was the conversation on the sidewalk in front of it.
The oaks were used to it.
The trail had footnotes.
The Iron Horse rang its bells straight through them.
