PRAISE THE DAWNING

Sunrise magenta sky-
pink Solo 
cups—lending a

distinctly
feminine touch
to—the hairy bulk

of crumpled 
up papers and 
blunt Cigarillo 

chunks, stuffed—like some
desiccated cough-
yellow 

leaves half-
inside a few travel-
size

bags of Doritos—which scrape
as they 
tug—along Milwaukee

Avenue's 
acquiescent
gutters this morning.
