damn that street
i run swoop kids off the sidewalk
before they jump off the curb
i am like superman.
when they leave i am offstage
taking off my watch
causes agony
wait an hour to stand straight
call into nagoya
on the train
today a lack of care of others
i rest head and chest on bag
not done here
feel a pocket
take out
knitted egg man
you bought for me
chocolate egg inside
i was so surprised
when you gave it to me
it was so perfect
i hold mister lavender-knitted-egg-man close
slip him into my shirt to fill the caving in my chest
he guards me
three trains home
