    last day of August —
    the wind shifts direction
    from baseball to football

    last day of August —
    a fresh coat of paint
    on the school bus

     

    Monday, August 28, 2006

    first day of school —
    a soccer ball
    crosses the street

    farmers market —
    an old dog
    transfixed by plums

    pay day —
    the screeching tires
    of an ambulance

     

    Sunday, August 20, 2006

    Sunday afternoon —
    a child’s sandal
    rides the escalator

    Feast of the Assumption —
    everything
    I thought I knew

    open mic —
    my words shake
    in my hands

     

    Saturday, August 12, 2006

    crowded train —
    face to face
    with a dozen roses

     

    Friday, August 11, 2006



    Riverside Station —
    I wonder
    where I’m going

     

    Thursday, August 10, 2006

    waiting room —
    so many smiling faces
    on the magazine rack

    examination room —
    a black spot
    on the gray carpet

     

    Wednesday, August 09, 2006

    what can I say
    that hasn’t been said?
    full moon

    August —
    her sundress
    so hot

     

    Tuesday, August 01, 2006

    heat wave —
    sweat clings to the neck
    of my beer bottle
