#greed

the recession---
Sunday's sermon
is all about greed

#blue

blue sky---
no more tissue
in the bathroom

#moon

out with her---
he is stuck for words
moonless Saturday night

#dance

Winter doldrums---
outside a dance school
a little girl strikes a pose

#walks

January warms up---
my neighbor walks
in her underwear

#man

internet cafe---
a man falls asleep
while viewing porno

#wind

cold wind---
the headline says
no torture

#quality

the recession---
quality of subway musicians
improves

#blue

blue sky---
I forget the tea kettle
is on the stove

#purple

purple horizon---
Obama wakes up
in the White House

#oath

Obama takes the oath---
words jump
he reins them

#moon

with a shovel on his shoulder
he sizes up the snow---
crescent moon

#out

snow at dusk---
a white poodle
is out for a shit

#King

Martin Luther King Day---
Obama's
is tomorrow
