Electric Vehicle in the Bike Lane
One of the ruffs
from the dog downstairs
caught my amusement
by the Horatio
and wouldn’t let go
until I was basement
away from Hamlet airs
and weary of saturnine toughs.

A Veil
A veil of pterodactyls
was covering the sky’s face.
Without seeing her beauty
I vowed anyway.

My Cat
My cat wants everything now,
and then she is satisfied
with hours of almost nothing;
a regal rhythm.

Than Beauty
The tallest building
is rarely the prettiest.
The city
seems to be saying,
there are more important things.
Than beauty, I should probably agree.

Big, Scary Children
All the crazy people
at the Plaza bus station
are like big, scary children.

Rumor
Rumor has it, but I don’t,
and I don’t ever want it.

We Watched
We watched the bird sing.
It was perched high in the tree.
We stood still
like we were in church,
and not wandering for coffee,
on a warm, April, Sunday morning.

The Cherry Blossoms
The cherry blossoms are gone
after just a little while.
I saw them with all my heart
in the good city.

Monday
Monday with a chance
of good memories forming
by accident,
and I am alone
on the precarious ridge
between everything and nothing.

My Tea
My tea is getting stronger
as it steeps with me in time,
as we all steep together
strengthening the brew.
