Morning Commute
every morning i pass
a curved brick wall
the grout
…………shows the route
……..of water trickles
….in mortar channels
……….in tiny piles
……..it lies at the base
…for all who wish to see
traffic…………..slows here
……i am not
…the only one
..rubbernecking
this accident of
…architecture
…grooves are fine
……piles distract
………brick walls
…………should not
……………curve
