i stay to the shadows

i creep along the wall
maybe catching a cool breeze
or just trying to avoid the unrelenting glare
of the punishing sun

the world on its side

I remember coming down for a visit to D.C., when I was still living in New York, and marveling, as I was cruising around the National Mall, that it looked like New York, except the buildings were all lying down.

Today it still seems that way to me. An abundance of sky on a hot D.C. day. And all the museums stretched out, lazily.

The world on its side.
