The Menu Pyramid of Universal Themes serves at the bus stop

The Menu Pyramid of Universal Themes
Serves on the house day after day.
Say when did we municipally order
That piece of quiet greenery
under the sprawling city sky.
Or that gorgeous gorge under the sturdy bridge,
everyone's water flowing under
for no one, a theme-ful garden and architecture.
(Or that heating water gurgling
- setting a stage for an anywhich friendship,
minor annoyance befriending helpless laughter -
In some office day after day.)
Here comes the bus ...
There those clever buses with their schedule
and smoke, their people and hurrying,
sits and stands, tips and shouts, falls and grins,
a mini-dictionary repeating every
so often.
Good day Sir !

There by the window
the soft pink flowers have
Made love again last night
along with the bonnets
for the morning commuter.
Served regular closer to home
The beating of my pacemaker,
a theme for hopefully few lifetimes.

On the tv, the veteran matador
is indulging the lively bull
without hubris, but with
much flourish.
