There were twenty two
broken cookies
on the sidewalk,
(I counted)
chocolate chip.
fancy ones, ovals.
like the emblem on the hood
of Crown Victoria police cars.
At the fringe of the financial district
around the corner from the offices
of Immigration, Customs
& Enforcement.
An accident or
a moment of frustration?
In the window
of the Chinese restaurant
the electric sign displayed
the current lotto pot,
380 million dollars.
The cookies had yet
to be trodden into crumbs
for the feasting
undocumented English sparrows
and Norwegian rats.
wonderful!!!
