#River

East River July---
so many picnics
I get hungry

#blue

Sunday blue sky---
a kid comes out
of confession

#Park

Central Park July---
a juggler
sweats

#way

and that's the way it is---
Walter Cronkite
dies

#fog

dense fog---
a nudist beach
empties up

#beach

Summer ennui---
there are no girls to watch
on the beach

#sonata

the moonlight sonata
on a moonless night---
and empty arms

#smarts

Judge Sotomayor's smarts---
she grew up watching
Perry Mason

#sunset

clouds at sunset---
a Yoga class
does the head stand

#wind

Summer rush of wind
through the leaves---
she stops whispering

#cake

Bastille Day---
in a cafe they eat cake
as homeless men pass

#blue

blue sky---
she tells me
a white lie

#sunset

Summer sunset---
coal miners
surface

#Park

Madison Square Park Summer---
boys watch girls
girls watch every thing
