free again

only just past mid-April,
and this morning,
breezy enough
and bright,
and I see the first sailboat
of Spring,
wandering
aimlessly
in the harbor,
when suddenly
the wind gusts
and sends my Billy Collins book
flying down to a
concrete fate;
the fast-walking lady
with the ballcap
and iPod
does not notice
the man,
starting to feel free again.
