the inspector

i decide to carry a clip
board
around all day.
for no reason.
i put on a hard hat too.
a white one.
and an orange vest.
i'll look at things along
the way. intently
inspecting things.
a pipe, a roof, a sidewalk.
i'll touch a tree
and shake my head, then
write something down.
i'll have people
ask me questions
is there a problem here,
or what's going on.
i'll tell them to
go back into their
houses where it's safe
and warm. it's nothing
to be concerned about.
i really can't talk
about it right now.
