#River

East River blue sky—-
the wake
of a speed boat

#roots

roots—-
Obama travels
to Africa

#night

Saturday night—-
the chaperon
goes for a walk

#blue

blue sky—-
a monk does
nothing

#River

East River breeze—-

#beer

a beer garden—-
there is a bathroom
every where you look

#porcupines

I go so deep into
a pine wood—-
I start thinking of porcupines

#cool

cool July day—-
the ice cream man
goes for a coffee break

#flowers

Tour De France—-
all these men do this
for a kiss and flowers by day’s end

#blue

blue sky—-
a column of smoke
moves sideway

#dragonfly

lonely in the park—-
a dragonfly
caresses my face

#class

morning stillness—-
I watch
a Tai Chi class

#horse

Central Park green house gases—-
a carriage horse shits
as he passes me

#blue

blue sky—-
where did yesterday’s
seagulls go
