A regular on my Reddit readings, EastcoastRabbit, contributed the phrase "anxiety deluxe," and I am most thankful.
Afternoon Walk
with each cloud's silver
lining. Anxiety deluxe,
predatory gait propelled
by timid bray. Alumni
transplant of the landlocked
bay, I'm baffled by the
pesky green of the street signs.
My best friend is yonder
radio, rides the bus with me,
takes up the entire seat,
waits outside work patiently,
scratching itches outside the pane,
hissing sparks and jazz come rain,
sleet or bullets, blue notes or hiccups,
arachnid cunning in lexiconic pinball:
you paint the portrait and I'll flex the jigsaw.
