LOCOMOTIONThis day is already putting all kinds of words in your head
and breaking them up into lines
and making the lines into pictures in your mind
and in the pictures the people are frowning and eating
and reading and playing ball and skipping along
and spinning themselves into poetry

in my veins was bubbling and
All of the thoughts in my head were buzzing
