BLOODLUST
I was in Providence only once but
I remember (Diane Arbus would be ashamed of me)
walking through a riverfront park
standing a respectful distance
from a guy in the bushes
when I realized he was taking a leak
that day I proved to myself that I
was not cutthroat enough to be
a street photographer because
I left the Rolleiflex capped.
I had Diane's camera
but could not play her tunes
any more than a 5th grader with an alto
can play "Confirmation."
Is life limitations or a failure
of nerve?
