Scrawny young fox
Trotting starved
Looking sideways—
I slow the car down
Two days in a row
But I have no food.
And later when sitting on the
Tuffet between Delhi and Osaka
I think of the woman whose domain
Is the main thoroughfare.
She keeps going at a fair clip
With the red shopping cart.
I always ask, what can I do?
Is there anything you need?
But she doesn’t slow down,
Since my windows are closed
and I’m headed the other way
with a median between us.
