December Morns

December Morn 1

The sun must rise earlier in December:
I've driven by this intersection every weekday morning,
at quarter to seven, and it's the first time
the sunlight makes me squint.

Before I cross, an old lady on the left sidewalk,
and a young boy on the right, move to cross.
I stop and let them exchange places,
and I wonder, "Where are they going?"

Then I wonder, "Do they also wonder where
I'm going?"

A horn beeps behind me, this morn
when the sun goes up earlier
in cold December.

December Morn 2

It must be getting cold in the mornings:
was gargling and spitting
while peeing.
