CITY SUN FISHING
the gentle ripples wash the grassy shore
as silver sunlight burns my squinted eyes
several geese with gosling honk at dogs
that water dog wag the lake from their fur
two pristine swans with trumpeting retorts
navigate the surface seeming more to glide
than to paddle their feet to swim between the rocks
and beneath the trees they grill their cheddar-wursts
but behind them on the street the homeless watch
for suckers or for carp to grace their steaming pots
pretending they are hobos, which they are not,
no more than would be Messiahs on a holy cross
as the city drives on, tires singing so loud
carrying many with more but leaving some without.
