This man, this woman
are the city—
the child’s toys
stuffed
in a cardboard box—
sagging at the edges,
and a blue tricycle
one handlebar
askew, its flag of
colored plastic streamers
lifted by the rush
of passing cars—
a three-legged table, car tires
stacked like lopsided
dishes—
and two black and whites
parked
back to back
along the curb—
one with its amber light
flashing.
Eviction— Paterson, 2020
