Imagined New England

10/10 on the Amtrak from New York to Providence

Sun glinted water

Touched by laboring fishermen

In the midday

Overshadowing trees with his presence

Hands placed neatly on hips

Or folded and crossed by the chest

Tossing shouts from his cracked mouth

Pointing his sawdust caked fingers

To go

out!

out!

out of here!
