#storm

October starts with
a drenching storm---
a witch laughs at me

#like

Tony Curtis dies---
many still like
Some Like It Hot

#rain

September predawn rain---
I wait for the alarm
to ring

#River

East River warm Autumn day---
a red oil tanker
zigzags

#sunset

curtain call---
storm clouds rise
for the sun to take a bow

#rain

nine AM---
they stand in an Autumn rain storm
waiting for a bus

#down

dark clouds move
in between skyscrapers---
the Dow goes down

#fog

morning fog---
the rain makes it
impossible to hear

#fog

Wall Street evening fog---
no one is here
to take a bet

#more

East Side skyline---
the UN building looks
more like a hospital

#apple

Autumn Saturday night---
a lonely man eyes
an apple

#moon

early Autumn morning---/
a full moon decides/
to hang on

#floods

Pakistan floods---
all that water is still there/
and people are hungry

#fog

morning fog---
I open the bathroom
curtains

#school

end of the school day----
the kids are happy
but the parents are not

#day

nice Autumn day---
the teacher keeps looking
out of the window

#moon

the night of the
September Equinox---
a harvest moon

#girls

in Afghanistan---
girls with no brothers
are forced to cross dress

#sun

September Equinox---
I discard a bottle
of sunscreen lotion

#River

East River blue sky---
the wakes of speed boats
and contrails

#cold

September cold morning---
I put a blanket
in the cat bed

#River

East River choppy waters---
the seagulls
flutter their wings

#blue

blue sky---
for no reason her memory
suddenly comes back

#NFL

NFL on TV---
ED ads and Bret Favre
still plays hard

#they

it's a living---
they rummage the garbage
for deposit paid containers

#visit

the Pope goes to England---
will he visit the tomb
of Henry the Eighth

#blue

blue sky---
an ambulance crew stop
for a break

#sunset

Friday sunset---
Yom Kippur
starts

#bar

Friday afternoon at a bar---
every one is still
texting

#spider

early Autumn---
above my desk a spider
is busy at work

#fog

evening fog---
thunder and lighting
and my neighbor sings

#over

mid September morning rush---
now I believe
Summer is over

#sunset

mid September sunset---
the apples are not
red yet

#rams

Autumn at Central Park Zoo---
the rams butt
more than usual

#No Subject

the US Open men final---
the rain plays
it's own game

#Roses

Autumn---
among the red roses
A statue of Virgin Mary

#blue

blue sky---
I view pictures of
hydrogen bombs explosions

#cat

morning stillness---
the cat sharpens
it's claws

#fog

Summer evening fog---
an actor has to play
Hamlet's father
