From Above

 

 
this street of newspaper
deliveries and bakers

already activating yeast,
4 a.m. dream awoke me.

The Brazilian house
painters aren’t yet waiting

for The City Supply
and Paint Company doors

to open; and the shivering
birds haven’t started

salvaging for Fernandes
Fish Market scraps.

My stovetop espresso 
percolates Sumatra;

and I, no matter what
Romney proposes, live

to interact by way of
Asia. South America. Europe.
