"I went for a long walk and some guy was vacuuming his car, and his wife was yelling at him."

A weakness for the awkward
Becomes a verse in my mind.
Perfectly mellifluous,
Laconically elegant,
Exquisitely conceited,
And sublimely vivid lines
Need to clunk over a curb

Every so often to be
In tune with the harmony
Of the squares, of the clumsy
Gods of everyday events
That do not unscroll smoothly
For long before something tears
To let me know I'm still here.
