like a pilgrim before some font or shrine
at the end of the day
i stare as i do dishes
floating away

in this particular valley i cannot see how cleaning up coffee
came to fall to me
nor why taking out the garbage
numbers among my reasons to be

i am but a man

but i plainly see the wonder of cars
steel ants scuttling from here to far

maybe their critics forget the pain of an undersprung trap
and the requirements of horsey feed
the wet of bikes
the ease of grease
