#walk

out for a walk---
the sun sets now
later than before

#blue

blue sky---
snow covers
tar painted roofs

#night

Saturday night---
it snows
we go ice skating indoors

#tree

cloudy January---
a white plastic bag
on a leafless tree

#is

Japanese restaurant---
the Cabernet is
excellent

#moon

January night---
the game keeper falls asleep
full moon

#heat

January evening rush---
an empty seat
where the heat works

#snow

snow flurries---
the fire escape steps
need cleaning

#rainy

January rainy day---
the barmaid
has a hickey

#horses

the recession---
I limit my bets
to only horses

#moon

snow in the forecast---
I open the curtains
the moon

#makes

morning stillness---
the train conductor---
makes no announcements

#plastic

the recession---
plastic surgeons
offer discounts

#bear

warm January day---
the zoo polar bear
stays indoors
