The Vigil

Of course I was the odd man out
The third wheel or 2,003rd
Clueless as the vigil went
Songs sung, candles burned
An apt agent for my country
A proxy for ignorance
Who moved on once the spotlight dimmed
To lighter news, to fluffy trends
Forgive me I’m a stranger here
Who senses a photo op
Something for the friends back home
Context-free, nicely cropped
A speech and then the square empties
I blend in with the crowd
The creaks and squeals from Tivoli
Follow me around . . .
. . . the road back to the hotel bar
The once-large crowd diminishes
A glass ordered of the house red
My first night in town finishes

Here
Right here
On the Butterfly 3-Way Bridge
After a cheeseburger
And a lemonade
From an outdoor food court
With an impossible name
Here
Right here
On the Butterfly 3-Way Bridge
Followed up with a mojito
That accompanied my walk
As it began its fourth hour
I had no intent to stop
Here
Right here
On the Butterfly 3-Way Bridge
On the way to Freetown
With nary a concern
Though probably too tired
To climb the tower of the church
Here
Right here
On the Butterfly 3-Way Bridge
I can not remember
How long it’s been since the last time
That I’ve felt this balanced
This content and this alive
Here
Right here

It was just a sandwich shop
Located on my hotel’s block
Spotted on an evening walk
It was just a sandwich shop
But I have just got to say
The sandwich I had there today
Might be the best one ever made
That is what I have to say
Roasted pork from free range pigs
With some strips of crispy skin
Red cabbage and a cream spread
I don’t recall the type of bread
Pickled cucumbers sliced thin
From a simple sandwich shop
Spotted on my evening’s walk
Friendly staff who care a lot
At my favorite sandwich shop
