the cloud regatta

wispy masts
floating sails,
white and puffy galleons,
roaming the afternoon
sky

caravels, brigantines, barques
the greatest aerial regatta
you've ever seen:
a kingdom of
milk marble clouds

beneath the sky,
are two girls
underarm passing
a volleyball,
there's a young boy
riding on roller skates

on the second storey
of a nearby building
a chubby topless
man with a face
like a worn leather chair

he takes out his
pipe and puffs
out a ring --
creating
another fleet
of tiny vessels,

they sail out
across the pastel
blue sky,
avoiding the
curving arc
of the volleyball.
