CATCHING KILROY?

Hidden between

a parked car

and a shrub

in a mall,

teetering on

one knee,

is a man

in tatters.

He is

hard at work

etching

a message

into a curb

with a piece

of white chalk.

Everything

about this moment,

almost missed, is

urgent,

absurd,

private,

tragic,

and startlingly 
precious.
