Concrete Meat Sheet

Waiting for the bus,

after work,

a manhole

began talking.

 

He looked around.

A cucumber on a parking

meter. A young

black girl weighing it up.

 

He watched her

reach out, hesitate

then walk away.

 

The manhole cover moved.

 

As it lifted so did

the voices.

 

He heard the word meat

mentioned.

 

The cover lowered.

 

He lit three cigarettes

and waited

for the

next

mystery.
