#fog

morning fog---
she pretends
not to see me

#empty

Christmas rush---
no bulging shopping bags

the Great Recession

#weeds

sunny day---
winter weeds where June
darlings dallied

#night

cold night---
a Santa Claus forgets
his lines

#lunch

Pearl Harbor day---
two cops eat
suchi for lunch

#River

East River gentle flow---
she runs her fingers
through my hair
 
#first

first season's snow---
an old couple kiss
a white mustache

#rush

Christmas rush---
a street vendor sells
underarm deodorant

#River

East River nice day---
leafless trees but the seagulls
don't seem to mind

#blue

blue sky---
the milkman
does not show up

#bag

holidays shopping---
a homeless lady
carries a Macy's bag

#moon

sunrise---
the Christmas lights are still on
and a full moon

#speech

Obama's speech
on Afghanistan---
no one is unhappy
