Circadian Transport [descending poem]

Switching from bus to
taxicab while talking
on cellphone halfway
down sixteenth street

is not unfamiliar to me
this occurs when running
late & calling Xiaodong

in Beijing where like here
spring is in bloom

The "descending poem" form is explained and illustrated by Jill Chan on her blog. On the Buffalo Poetics listserv, she invited others to give it a try. Hence the above.
