East River nice day---
a duck opens its mouth wide
Thanksgiving nears

#River

East River nice day---
a tug boat strains
fallen leaves

#blue

blue sky---
I remember nothing
of last night brawl

#scarecrow

November waxes---
a decapitated scarecrow
in the garbage

#fog

fog over the skyline---
not just files
but life on a cloud

#moon

a love potion---
there is water
on the moon

Friday the Thirteenth---
I win a free trip
to where I live

#wind

cold wind gusts---
a morning jogger
runs in place

#fight

as I listen to an opera---
my neighbors
have a fight

#sunrise

sunrise---
view but no warmth
November

Armistice Day---
the seconds hand
passes eleven

the fresh wounds
of Fort Hood

nothing happens
Roosevelt Island

East River Summer day---
just ignore
the falling leaves

#fog

a turkey walks into a wall
November

#florist

Claude Levi Strauss dies---
a florist has
wild forget-me-nots

#blue

blue sky---
fingers yellowed from smoking
November

November---
a sale
on yellow pepper

#gun

Fort Hood---
when a coward with a gun
runs out of options
 
#moon

blue sky---
but for
a day moon

#yellow

dark clouds at sunset---
bright yellow leaves
get noticed

the Yankees win
the World Series---
Pettitte at his best

#blue

blue sky---
no more ghosts
November Third

#moon

full moon at sunrise---
a yogi
faces west

election results---
Bloomberg lost because
his win is not big enough

#River

East River nice day---
a kid falls asleep
on his mama's lap

#cream

I ask for whipped cream
on the pumpkin pie---
Autumn ennui

women run up a hill
I walk on

a witch acts as if
yesterday never happened

a lone wolf waits
till it's dark---
October ends

a swan casts a spell
on a witch

dawn---
a ghost changes into
a pile of trash bags

the barmaid recommends
pumpkin beer

noon wind gust---
a ghost rides a swing
in the park

a Halloween party---
I go as myself
no comments
 
#rush

morning rush---
a robot
whistles

morning fog---
a ghost takes off
the white sheet
