In a book

Eight days ago
Butterflies in profusion
A warm calm
The end of an Indian summer

Today the gulls battle the wind
As maniacs in flight
Who knows their destination
Who understands there sense of reason

Yesterday fire and snow
Love, infatuation
& snippets
Of vagrant poets words

Before that there was long ago
Humans still told spoken stories
A cold struggle
As if the beginning of civilization

Pull Off

Stainless steel table top
Spots of rain turn to mottled motifs
As one might find on oil slicks or lava lamps

Prickled points of container plants
Dead in their autumn shade
As one might find in Nash's paintings of lost hope

For the last time, for the last chase of words
Somewhere, on the way to somewhere else
A service station, for those in need of a service

Café Days

The congestion
More congested

Would a breath
Of oxygen

Ease
The conveyor belt

Bar Days

Just beneath the Jameson
Down the road
From the crocodile skin shoes
Watching the video
Streets of Philadelphia

Store Days

Holy Moses
How much fun

To be with Children
No, no, no
Yah, yah, yah
