Hares on a balcony like a sloped backwards chair.
I can stop and spare a view of the bay, remember?

What a fog it is to walk among a porch-a-dock
mid-tide today some
wet-bobbing house enforcements.

Well now my cloth and skin
wet and squishy
from the sudden rain on top of
slippery wood stone stucco.

Still a chatter and quack-a-quack
the water slaps shifting, barely perceptibly
close to the edge.

Raised subway rubber reminders to stay away
and the fear of falling to a wholesale soak elevates.
