BLACK SATURDAY

Senseless
spiritless
coffee
in an otherwise
fancy cafe.
i gulp down
the senselessness
anyway
at 5:36
on Black Saturday.

The city,
devoid of prisoners
of the maddening rush hour
beckons to me

i consume the peace
i consume the streets
for tomorrow
at Easter
the city will rise
to catch up on
wasted time.
