It’s still (here) but
you do what the lights think of
better–seize in seize in–
limbs clear as steel wands
(for you know how a peach
can grow up and be a tree, too)
you don’t save lives

I’m telling
you’re invested
in the coming and in the going
never the walkers or the joggers
   the strollers
everyone looks approachable
the serious woman
come back

Believe in how it treats you
the sweet amenities
