“Sizing Up” ...

“ Sizing Up “

Sizing up tumult
donning hard hats
to demolition parties
issuing magic markers
during shaky opening starts

earning high marks
boarding early-mourning
departures for the once forgotten
headed for loading docks in crime novels
by riding coattails and sipping cocktails
while relying on magic carpet rides...
