Sidewalk Selfie

A selfie can be a poem as well as a photo.  To qualify in this new sub-genre the poem must be composed on the fly, as it were, spontaneously in the street, and whenever possible, accompanied by some sort of visual record of the event.

Shoulder set back

As if tacking windward

Central Parking System

Be damned here I am

Yet again sailing

Down the block and

Blogging about how my

Central nervous system keeps

Firing with abandon

Wide open and alert

Gliding along as if under 

Kerouac's command or
In some other slipstream
