the park swimming pool
is still waterless

a long line to go up
the Empire State Building

the recession Spring Break---
why not stay home
and go to tanning salons

overcast skies---
she wears blue
eye shadow

#night

Friday the Thirteenth night---
a witch needs
more time

#moon

Friday the Thirteenth---
before dawn
full moon

#trash

the recession---
even trash*
has become worthless

a grass mud-horse*
steps on a river crab---

#River

East River light drizzle---
a truck driver stops
to piss

#fog

morning fog---
the new grafitti is
minimal

#skull

doctor's office---
skull
but no skeleton

#cat

early morning---
a cat passes
without looking at me

#rotini

I cook rotini---
she says she wants
al dente

#fog

morning fog---
the man ahead of me
is walking backwards
