The romance
of collecting life in a cardboard
house by the river is getting damp
today.
June clouds
June rains,
June bugs.
The towering stack of aluminum
cans might bring beer money,
or canned beans,
if the fire stays lit.
I’m observing the speed limit,
hustling by,
but not much else.
Can’t bear to look
at what only God sees.
