Safeway parking lot
early morning, almost light
lone duck waddle-wanders
between the lines
across the vast,
through sudden puddles –
aimless and unhurried
while we rush past
(Day 17: 1 Subject 30 Ways #settingpoem)

Maybe the duck knows
the secret to life
is NOT running for the train
if’s singing in the rain!
