Pedal creaks. Tone rotten.
                        —Keith Waldrop

The shadow-shadow accidentally feels a
raindrop.  Is it a time warp?  Perhaps.  Oh,

how the Tenderloin has aged.  I wander lost,
one greasy spoon in search of another.  Does’

eyes tend to startle cars and freeze fists.  I’m
too cold to think sock-footed.  But the kitchen

is a mess!  Leaving on a jet plane on Thursday,
stressing about the shape of class, calling to

schedule racquetball, no instant messenger.
Cedar confirmed for the 26th.  110 more to go.
