#cafe

in a cafe---
there are more people
studying than talking

#party

sunday morning---
still hearing
the noise of last night party

#sunset

sunset---
stuck in traffic
in the lincoln tunnel

#window

a cat in the window---
listens to a
mockingbird meow

#mosquitoes( after Issa)

two mosquitoes
keep arguing
over my pillow

#hear

chilly evening---
I can hear the rustle
of the new leaves

#breakfast

as I eat my breakfast---
a sparrow
waits for his

#tulips

sitting on a fence
above welted
yellow tulips---a crow

#azaleas

morning stillness---
the roof is dripping
on the azaleas

#robbery

the prices on the sign
of a gas station---
highway robbery

#ecosystem

morning---
riding to work in a one
specie ecosystem

#sunset

sunset---
listening to jazz
in a tibetan tea house

#ant

early morning---
an ant waits
for me to pass

#birth

outside a store that
sells wedding dresses
a cherry tree
just gave birth
to many bright green leaves

#sunset

sunset---
the smell
of cooking beets
