Some days are just like that

I arrived in today like a wet flag collapsed in rain
Curled inward against the pole 
dripping from corners
onto asphalt 

paving a dangerous world

edgy and precarious
littered with pretty swords

so I take soft lurching steps
past what places might get me
given a chance
fact of life 

be eaten just like that
keep an eye peeled is right bro
against what

I don't know

but for God's sake don't stop looking 

until a dry wind flies the flag again.
