On Main Street Near the Crosswalk

I will confess

to being jealous

of the street poet

with his antique typewriter

and handwritten sign

(though I did wonder

why it wasn’t typed)

but then I heard him say

"there are

teapots out there

you can make"

so I kept walking

thinking that the lesson is

so much depends

on context
