#people

Autumn Sunday weather was good---
people
look exhausted

#cat

morning Yoga---
the cat and I
stare at each other

#night

October Saturday night---
alone I listen
to boleros

#fly

cold October---
a fly follows me
to the kitchen

#sunset

October sunset---
waiting for her
to finish cooking

#cold

cold October wind---
I wear my
baseball jacket

#debate

vice presidential debate---
can she play Pygmalion
or can't she

#blue

blue sky---
no one accepting
commercial paper

#fly

Japanese restaurant---
a fly
does not like me

#dawn

late September dawn---
I hear
crickets

#sweets

Ramadan ends---
my neighbor offers me
sweets for breakfast

#Park

Madison Square Park---
why are bankers
looking down

#lost

Mets last game
at Shea Stadium---
lost
