#biplane

East River Winter day---
a biplane flies low
then rises

#snow

Sunday morning snow---
all the talk shows guests
have gray hair

#blue

frigid day blue sky---
a white smoke column
acts up

#house

bitter cold day---
a house for sale
has its door wide open

#cook

blue sky---
it's too cold to cook
marshmallows outdoors

#jet

Hudson River Winter day---
a jet airliner
lands on the water

#Paris

the recession---
Paris is not Paris
without Champagne*

#snow

morning rush---
snow falls inside
my new shoes

#waiting

the recession---
waiting for Obama's
inauguration

#blue

January blue sky---
the circus is still
in town

#night

chilly night---
I ask
if I can sleep with her

#moon

late night
a banker worries about
his golden parachute--- full moon

#blue

blue sky---
who cares about that sliver
of pink and orange

#the

the recession---
McDonald’s
prospers

cold sunset -
I drink the tea cup
she poured herself at night
