#coins

he looks at coins
to give a homeless man---
moonless night

#music

Beethoven's birthday---
my neighbor complains
the music is deafening

#woman

Christmas cheer---
a man tries to pick up
the woman next to me

#can

Union Square Christmas bazaar---
a man gives away
Coke in the new can

#bank

a bank Christmas party---
more cheer
than last year

#presents

holidays flea markets---
so many dumped
past Christmas presents

#blue

blue sky---

all the way
to infinity

#cold

bitter cold---
I go wear another
pair of socks

#prize

Obama takes a break
from two wars---
to accept the Noble Peace Prize

#blue

blue sky---
porn pictures laid
on the sidewalk

#sunset

sunset---
the smell of marinara sauce
winter
