Plastic Bag

Tonight I was crossing the
Street when a plastic
Bag blew up to my
Feet.

I thought I'd kick it
Out of the way
And I put my foot
In it.

I tried to jump kick
It off once.

Didn't work.

Second time I had
To put my other foot
On it and jump out
Of it.

I cracked a smile
And laughed.
A laugh that took
Me half way down
The block.

When does that happen?
Bags on your feet?

It was a New York moment.
Shoulda been caught
On film.

I could feel the slow
Motion fade away;
Maybe into a
Montage.
