Poem of the Week
bagel shop
Nikki Dechent


"Hey"
he flashes me,
peace sign
with his slightly
crazy smile, crooked

on his way to lurk
behind the cracked
old woman
slightly resembling
Mother Teresa.

she’s in an irritated
conversation
with the opposing
corner of table
who’s not listening.

Down the street
there’s a big brother.
decked in his uptown
tommy-jeans-best

toting his little sister,
in her stroller
like a leash.
When I pass
he crosses the street.

grungy girl, going
in dollar-tie-best
big bagel
mouthful,
grinning.

back home
to the cat,
purring fur,
demanding
my lap.

Elated window watcher
jumps down.
I'm left contemplating
the simple of his smile
and the symbol of his hand.
