To Eno's Music for Airports & Thursday Afternoon

The clear scent of strawberries. A spider on the floor. Shoes squeak on a staircase. Traffic lights against the sky. Staples on a telephone pole. Walking in the mist before rain. A breeze transitions into wind. Leaves like butterflies on a limb. Sitting alone at a large table. Beads of juice on a cut lime.

Reflections in a screen. Surprise at an empty seat. Remembering a title. Picking up garbage from a backseat. Latte foam in the shape of hearts. Empty basket on an old bicycle. Cracking an egg. Doorbell like a grandfather clock. Passport photo in a library book. Sand castles at high tide. Baby please don't go.
