a bee is busy
over the Azaleas

she's lost in her book
I in her décolleté

my neighbor is morning
Pavarotti

the dog keeps barking---
a gorgeous woman
passes

the rowdiness
of teenagers in the subway

clear September night---
she watches the stars
of TV

she asks me
if I got a light

dry and bright
September day---
I skip the sauna

September sunset---
only the regulars
at the beach

old sneakers dangle
from a street lamp

a boy
forgot his name

he keeps talking
about his job

a migrant worker sells
American flags
