#roses

no evidence
of Spring yet—-
I buy her roses

#stillness

morning stillness—-
my neighbors
whisper

#night

March Saturday night—-
I lost another bet
on a basketball game

#blue

blue sky—-
I await
the lilacs bloom

#sunset

sunset—-
she finished planting
the eggplant

#cat

first day of Spring—-

snow flurries

the cat scratches its head


#drizzle

Spring drizzle—-
the sound of high heels
behind me

#dawn

before dawn—-
a man shouts
Google is down

#River

East River—-
a man takes off his shirt
almost Spring

#blue

blue sky—-
warm enough to play
hopscotch on the sidewalk

#moon

Saint Patrick Day—-
the moon looks
greener

#red

Saint Patrick Day—-
a Brit wants
to paint the town red

#tree

March haze—-
a leafless tree reminds me
of my neurons

#teacher

early morning—-
a teacher asks
who was Richard Nixon
