A young couple
holding hands,
walking over the bridge
toward Walmart.
Her knee-ripped jeans,
his puberty-popped beard;
heads down, talking
with apparent intensity
about something we
won’t ever know and maybe
they won’t even know if
you ask them about it tomorrow.
It’s early spring in the city
and the city, wearing its con-artist smile,
promises so much future to these two
they can’t see more than two steps
ahead of them. Cross your fingers
for them, friends;
cross your hearts
and hope they thrive.
Tony Brown is a poet living in Worcester, and the frontman for the music-poetry ensemble, the Duende Project.
