share

prescient the parent, parting with peril
   her galoshes all muddy and one clogged up barrrel;
moody yon cougar, verily wired,
   way past significant yet fur rich, retired.

lanyard tiaras, orange safety vests, 
   rain gear on work gear on sunday's best
knowing routine, his chalky dull crest
   bus grooves, potholes, grand social test

drippy nose bless ya, sorry boss a dick,
   umbrellas kind of save one, said a skinny chick
need the ramp an ancient groaned
  no problem the standard intoned

        guessing remotely mere inches to spare
        the baby wheezes in the only free air
