Morning Caller

I hadn't been up long when there was a ringing
of the doorbell
Some lady
Religious
Looking for converts
She was bright red
Giggly
Couldn't put together
a sentence of
more than 3 words
Maybe she'd never seen a naked man before

When I'm bad you touch my shoulder

On this old train
evening smokes in
closed down
for the day
dog by the fire
thought gets longer
quiet
physical

Swimming underwater, I used to like
Not so much in the sea, although I did,
but in the pool, one side to the next
maybe boundaries help

Just the once, a dolphin moment
Natural whip of spine, 100 mph,
up, out of water, back down
Slight exaggeration
