Five

The five of us walk the city streets
long after midnight
looking to catch spiders
in the act of subtle web-weaving
before the dew
turns the strands to diamonds.

We discuss the nature and condition
of the local bean trees.

We discuss childhood.
We discuss Marijuana.

We discuss the elementary principles of logic
and how to disprove them.

The five of us stand on the bridge
by the bench near the river.
Wishing we were photographers
Wishing we were missionaries
Wishing life hadn?t caught us somewhere
Wishing we hadn?t drowned

So we trade hats on a street corner
walk home
to luke warm stew
and the sweat of our lives.
