#sale

downtown---
plastic Fall leaves on sale
as I step on real ones

#soup

an SUV stops
to refuel---
GM on the soup line

#storm

haunting October rain storm---
she reads
her horoscope

#harvest

Illinois plays Wisconsin
football---
corn harvest is over

#day

the recession---
a day laborer
takes off his shoes

#moon

late October
restlessness---
crescent moon

#moon

October night---
who cares how stocks did
crescent moon

#blue

blue sky---
the grey cat
is hiding

#salad

at McDonald's---
I remember Paul Newman
from his salad dressing

#blond

late October wind---
her blond hair flies
along with the leaves

#leaf

October cold gusts---
green leaf blown
under my door

#cold

cold morning---
the bus has no heat
she knits a sweater

#sunset

East River Autumn sunset---
a swan
dips

#cat

black cat tries to
open a garbage bag---
moonless night
