urban meditation

[saw]

leaned back slowly
lids closed in sync,
my mind locates the wetness
of tires on Harford Road
like a meditation waterfall

car after bus after truck
soul cleansing splashes
imagined rubber, meeting puddled blacktop
a drenched crescendo
of spinning commuters in tempo

transforming
morning robotic functions
into peaceful droplets of song
to someone with this acquired taste,
me

and once you have it
this seventh sense
its like floating on demand
a magic carpet ride of vulcanized mist
floating high above the waking city

while still nestled in your comfy chair

One of the best in a while.

Nice lyric. Very expressive images. And I like this stanza which is the crux of the poem I think.

though the previous stanza is outstanding too. Loved the imagery and words to express the images
