porter square, 8:30am

every city intersection is a child's laboratory
two microscopic lenses and extrospective curiosity.
ordinary observation of magnetic behavior
the running late-ers, occasional hand hold-ers
the locked upon bicycle seat-ers, the repel-lers
traveling opposite of where they should.
most coming near or going away aware of
not much, least of which--awareness itself--
their specimen role in a naturally occurring
social experiment and the child, nature's greatest
scientist, without agenda, except to transmit
instinct, of how the tree above
has fingers reaching the sky. cars are music.
specimens transact exactly: rise, dress,
purpose to pavement.
behave knowing their elemental limits.
temporary scientist, his paradox awareness,
knows none.
