Crossing Over
As the lads left, the lens waited
high on a step-ladder, waited
at the piano-like intersection, waited
in front of bobby-held traffic. Waited.
Within ten minutes, the shutter clicked,
like a fine poem, the one we all desire
to read but more to write, the one where
thousands will imitate its walk into the heart and soul,
the poem that needs no title
nor author identification,
just a quatrain as quirky
as Maxwell’s instrument of attention.
