#wind

strong wind---
an inflatable Santa
decides to fly back north

#shampoo

it's snowing again---
I need
dandruff shampoo

#skirt

mid December train ride---
her skirt rises
as she dozes

#Fifth

December Fifth Avenue---
I eat a croissant
outside Tiffany

#moon

December New York---
above all that neon
crescent moon

#rat

December rush hour---
a rat
on steroids

#rice

winter flexes its wrath---
I stand close
to the rice steamer

#storm

walking in first snow storm---
no one
in a hurry

#sunset

December sunset redness---
she wears
green

#fog

morning fog---
the graffiti
looks subtle

#hamburgers

the smell of cooking
hamburgers---
I keep eating my tuna salad

#day

gloomy day---
the Christmas lights
shine brighter

#gunman

once more
this holidays season---
gunman shoots in a crowd

#tree

rainy day---
the City Christmas tree
gets watered
