Measured

Measured

at the light

a standard style truck

braked at the front

of the line

never saw the faces

just the backs

small forms of white

the smallest to the left

neither turned

nor talked

the sky gray-blue

the wind a memory

what was the necessity

packages or papers or property or prescriptions

ever it was

there was a purpose

a plan, a priority, a process

and at the appropriate speed

they went

about their way
