You create your opportunities by asking for them.

"Jenny, I love you"
written in chalk on the street
fading in the rain
   
    running the gauntlet
of oscillating sprinklers
that stripe the sidewalk
the bus home, cluttered
with the urgent daydreams of
sixteen silent riders
   
  leather leash grows stiff
too long hanging on this hook
weighted with memory
 
respond, submit
