Old woman crossing,
Two thin legs and a walker:
Good it's a long light.
~
Orange city glow
Reflected from clouds above
Bathes the swirling snow.
~
There's no foundation
All the way along the line:
Broadway crazy man.
~
Top-down white Corvette
Blaring down Fifth Avenue:
Six below zero.
~
Fighting traffic noise
Underneath a cherry tree
Practicing bagpipes.
~
Trees as thin as poles
Struggle up through sidewalk holes.
How many will live?
~
Around Columbus,
Like the pigeons overhead,
Taxis keep circling.
~
She has no home but
Her nails are always polished
Waiting for the bus.
~
Summer in the park:
Homeless men spend warm bright days
Sleeping in the shade.
~
Taxis, trucks, and cars
Intertwine without touching...
A delicate dance.
~
Flapping and whirling
Like a streetwise break dancer:
A pigeon's death-throes.
