small sandals slap pavement
was drizzling but now it’s
heavy hot
bags from the market
weighing down shoulders arms
we
shepherd boy
along sidewalk to the car
stopping for puddles and ants and sirens
and busses
this man sits against wall of bank building
beard an autumn nest long
face blank
boy and man reach eyes
of deep deep knowing boy
gives a
stiff wave
man waves and smiles
eyes bright for this
infinite instant
