IN PASSING

      A cross-town sliver
      Of Siamese cotton
      Out of Montana
      Maybe going to Alaska
      A simple definition

      Is this naïve maunder
      Of the relatively holistic
      Where perspective
      Spoils possibility
      With logistics

      As when noting a man
      In a wing mirror
      Count change
      For a taxi or a phone
      Why linger
