The Streets of Chickasha

My big city walk
Compared to this
Slow town saunter.
Walking on shoulders
Absent of sidewalks.
My straight suit--
Pants and jacket--
Getting glances
From greasy jeans
And slouched tshirts.
A slack-jawed grandpa
Slowing his truck
Looking at my
Typhoid Mary tie--
Me the enigma
In oxford shoes
And my walking
And not driving.
