#fight

at the gym---
I watch a woman
learn how to fight

#day

first day of Summer---
a son buys his father
flowers

#night

Saturday night rain---
a couple eye the lobsters
in a water tank

#River

East River dark clouds---
a little girl paints the sidewalk
pink with chalk

#sunset

June sunset---
when we wake up
how many died in Iran?

#lunch

lunch hour---
a long line of women
at the ice cream cart

#rain

rain---
mist
fog

#Park

Madison Square Park---
a folk singer sings
about no liquidity

#cooler

Upper East Side---
their graffiti
is cooler

#blue

finally blue sky---
but still
no peace of mind

#River

June East River---
girls versus boys rope pull
the girls win

#ants

June morning---
a line of ants
at the subway entrance

#mosquito

I go out
in search of a haiku---
a mosquito bites me

#dawn

dawn---
an old neighbor
unable to recall my name
