I don’t remember what we were discussing as we walked through the Tenderloin that day. It was foggy and cold. For some reason I told you about my fascination with people’s faces, about watching them in the street. You seemed slightly surprised at the idea of considering a stranger’s face. You told me that you don’t see the faces of those you pass by. I remember feeling sad. I asked you why not. You said you didn’t know.

He could have been a surgeon or a painter
how precise and delicately he scraped between the cracks
in the sidewalk.
On his hands and knees
I’ve never witnessed a being existing so much
in the present.
It was there at some point, I’m sure
but the morning sun must have burned it up:
We’re all searching for the same ghosts.

The
Pigeons
The disregarded gentleness
of city birds has emerged
in a sheltered concrete shaft
outside my bathroom window
where a couple of pigeons
have chosen to make their nest,
which makes me an unseen
while intimate guest
each time I pee or brush my teeth
and see the babies sleeping,
heads tucked like turtles
into the puffed pillows
of their small quivering
bodies at rest.

Here there are no enter/exit signs.
We are smaller clouds in the greater fog.
Occasionally our surfaces press against one another
At red lights, or liquor store lines
But our worlds are not the same
And you emerge out of the density of your own presence
To ask me for change, or to give me the once over
And I meet you there, and we make our interactions short
So that we may move through the storm cloud
Of our shared space
Unperturbed
