Haiku
gandy dancer
ragged
hunting fossils
in railroad ballast
insulator glass
& trilobites
along these tracks
on crossties
stray beans
sprouting
walking
tracks
taking
one
sleeper
at
a time
living worm
& fossil worm
same
stone
try
listen
ing
for
fossils—
there’s a fossil here
you just
feel it
back to
being
man-ape
squatting
turning
over
fossil
stones
look—their garden bench
faces these
railroad tracks
