The Passing
Poem Prompt: use random words from a book
kitten * pocket* waistcoat * dust * bench * clouds * still-lifes * streeetlight * dancer * fleas

a kitten sat on a park bench
next to a man in a waistcoat
they both watched the clouds
till dust danced on their shoulders,
their own pocket of time-fleas
snapping still-lifes under streetlights.
