#game

the football game ends---
heavy rain makes
the loss heavier

#haze

morning haze---
so many sparrows
where the leaves used to be

#global

on a bed of sapped leaves
a beauty sunbathes---
global warming

#Veterans

Veterans Day---
the children of Vietnam
are now of Iraq

#grocer

a new grocer opens---
the flies still go
to the old one

#end

end of the line---
a blind violinist
counts his change

#green

warm day---
a green leaf in the midst
of yellow ones

#sticks

he is tall and skinny
the other short and chubby---
so are their sticks

#church

Autumn storm---
multicolored leaves
carpet a church driveway

#Superman

the day after---
no one cast a vote
for Superman

#poisson

coffee, cigarettes, beer---
and Windex to clean
after all that poison

#moon

perched on a tree
still can't see the forest
from the trees---full moon

#sunset

cold wind at sunset---
I drink the last
drop of Chablis

#skyline

pudgy seagulls
perched on the shore rocks---
Manhattan skyline
