One thing I love about Saint Paul: they put poetry on sidewalks. Here's some in my neighborhood. Art infrastructure!
#saintpaul #minnesota #poetry

A sidewalk with a poem imprinted in it:

I don't know enough
about balance to tell you
how to do it

I think, though,
it's in the trying
and the letting go

that the scales measuring
right and wrong -- quiver
and stand still

A sidewalk with a poem imprinted in it:

there's no place I'd rather be
then here
in this quiet common place
where late morning sun
meets the scent of concrete and cut grass
stirring

A sidewalk with a poem imprinted in it:

Midnight in the Burger King parking lot
We could drop a dime, see it sparkle
fifty feet away. We would always
have the moon we said
