What I Saw Today

I walked to the Fox Regal Cineplex
at 7:31pm I crossed 10th street at Yamhill
I looked up 10th
a sheet was in the middle of the street
a police car was stopped
doors ajar
screeched askance
a leg poked out from under the sheet
tennis shoe on
no one covered it up
no one looked
no one stared
the trolley stopped
dropped off passengers
then left
no one noticed the tennis shoe in the street
attached to the leg
that poked out from the sheet
in the middle of the street
by the police car
askance
I walked past
and wondered
why
