Uber plus some

My independence is challenged these days. Of course it is. It will remain challenged. Of course it will. 

I learn the ins and outs

Of Uber.

I learn where to pick up buses,

No routes are close

To where we live.

The train is close.

It goes straight downtown.

This would be good

If downtown

Was where I wanted to go.

Still

I could go straight downtown,

Transfer to another train station

This would take me

Two blocks

From my office.

At least a two hour trip.

I could read

A lot.

I learn the ins and outs

Of Uber.

Sidetrack

I love this weather. I see more at cooler temperatures. I spend time sidetracked in order to pay attention to what's next, to "who's" next.

The cooler weather

Sidetracks me to watch others:

Trains in their own right.

We might live almost anywhere

Where to live? Oh where to live?

It seems

We might live anywhere

Except New Orleans

Or perhaps the Amazon.

I would like a place

Where indoor air blends

With outdoor air,

A regular breeze

Blows through it,

An occasional firefly

Blinks on and off

Water flows at a distance

And a train whistle blows.

If a rose breasted grosbeak

Happens by

We will know

This is indeed the place.
