Apple Street
...is Apple Street now fading in the sun?
His walk down Apple Street today begins
with thoughts of what will lie ahead. He knows
he’s taken to a course that promises
to be one that confronts prevailing thought.
He looks beyond, far past the street, at art
set out before him in a natural frame.
He does not see the apples that once were
the splendour of this path. Instead, he sees
the encroaching angular homes all bundled nice,
like packages of pre-fab thought in place
to convey only a viewable point
of view. Does not a current flow unseen?
Does he not only see debris of wind?
Is Apple Street now fading in the sun?
Or is the archetype still a real part
of what keeps him to his determined walk?
A young woman in green waits for a bus,
a slice of Red Delicious on her tongue.
