LOOKING FOR LIFE

One morning he listened

to a sonata for cello and piano

and then went out looking

for the kind of life he loved

in that music. He met

a man at Dunkin Donuts

who said he drove a car

that carried kindness inside it.

Then he saw two women

walking like light

was inside their legs.

He turned a corner

and two trees were

stretching to touch each other,

and then a car passed

with several precious passengers.
