I met an angel preaching activism
in the street where not long before
generous musicians were
broadcasting soundwaves of sagas
into every direction, grattis
(skeleton dancing on his shoulder as his arm
skipped along the strings of his upright bass;
megaphone like a comic strip word bubble)
100 kr to savor the sweetness
meeting all the right people
learning all the right things
welcomes, wine, welcomes
songs, beets, potatis, cheese, jokes, mango, ice cream, hallon
meeting/learning, all delicious
inescapable blue waters so perfect a shade
like blue raspberry flavor
or amusement park waves
or my favorite jeans at age 7
the sky setting behind the surrounding skylines
like the backdrop of a play
so dramatic, so beautiful that it must be man made.
propelling your own light source while
passing over countless bicycling profiles
painted on the pavement
this would be the definition of
"UTOPIA"
if not for the
"CLEAR CHANNEL" logos above
each passing advertisement
falling in love is accepting flaws,
they say
