The Village Theatre marquee had tonight’s show.
Hartz Avenue already knew.
Local stories. Close to home.
Daily Smile
All smilesHartz Avenue already knew.
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.
The fountain was working harder than my errand.
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.
