5 O'Clock Shadow

Here's a peek into the strange little world we inhabit.

5 in the morning
dark
cruising on my daughter's bike

pumping the pedals through the back streets

fog, old trees, and quite streets

geriatric neighborhoods mixed with rundown tenant housing

on the way to bump the kiln

the hospital is my que to turn

passing a bus stop

two people in canvass body bags are leaned against its walls

seated, napping? feet crossed and sticking out

shrug... Stockton California
