#cool
August—-
how to stay cool
inside a yellow cab
#Park
Central Park heat wave—-
an ambulance stands
where girls in bikinis lie
#night
Saturday night jealousy—-
she tells me
it’s all in your mind
#forty
the flower children
are now grandparents—-
Woodstock at forty
#mugged
mugged too often in Harlem—-
he buys a gun
and shoots them
#blue
blue sky—-
the beach is full
of umbrellas
#sunset
clouds at sunset—-
a dragon ran out
of fire
#cool
August cool—-
she wants to go
mushroom hunting
#read
August boredom—-
I read
Alice In Wonder Land
#shower
the Perseid meteor shower—-
Perseus sword beheads
the Medusa
#sunset
August sunset—-
I watch it from the inside
of a green house
#corn
August sun—-
sweet corn ripens
in the ground
#picture
beach—-a little girl
ask me to take her picture
with her camera
#pigeons
Summer watermelon—-
I spit the seeds
to the pigeons
