Wheelchair: Four Blocks , a poem

I.
Sidewalk crack
Pinecones leaves
Puddle!
Splash
Treadmarks...cool
Curbcut
Street
Curbcut

II.
Garbage can cover
Go around on the grass
Tree branch
Go around on the grass
Hi how are you
Good and you
Curbcut
Street
Curbcut

III.
Toddler alert
Stop
Yes nice out today
He's getting so big
Leaves
Smooth sidewalk
Curbcut
Lined walkway bumpy up and down
And up and down
Curbcut

IV
Swerve for bike
Wind up on grass
Driveway.
Stop.
Car.
Go.
Bumpy sidewalk
Slow down
Smell the pink roses white daisies
Dog barking dog sniffing
Wait.
Hello how are you?
Good. She's afraid of wheels sometimes.
Back up
Sidewalk smooth
Go faster faster
Curbcut
Street
Curbcut
