a jellyfish swims upwards

August heat---as they pass
her new boyfriend
tries to act cool

I look for place to hide
my diary from her

Summer barbecue---
it's the beer
that makes it taste good

a Coca- Cola sign
turns off

morning flower bulbs
at the backdoor---
who needs this kind of intrusion

she asks
who picked our lilacs

he hauls his golf clubs

she wears
a beige bikini
