After Noon
by Peter Berghoef
this is dedicated to the crossing guard
asleep in her truck
at the intersection without children

the swan the burly bartender saw
was not a plastic bag
but a breathing bird

nearby a woman declares:
"what's with the helmet?
wear a cowboy hat
or get off the goddamn horse"
