Brooke dahlia effigy
 sworn on the blackboard
garish socks
  and cement gum sticking to shoes
bracing for mid town sweat and grit
the cars parked in a row
  she walks the dog in a stroller
 poor things hips are bad
said the doc
 the camera's on the tripod
8x10 view of a night sky
 with the Chrysler Building
she waits at home
 the boy's drinking Coca-Cola
he paints it
