Dave Lucas

Variations on a Theme by Rainer Maria Rilke

— for here there is no place that cannot see you.
You must change your life.

For here there is no police radar that cannot clock you.
You must reduce your speed.

* * *

For here there is no moviegoer who cannot see you.
You must duck down in front.

* * *

For here there is no neighbor who can sell his house.
You must mow your lawn.

* * *

For here there is no pit bull that will not startle you.
You must change your pants.
