Children’s show

J’s Sleeping Beauty.
Small kids grab at her princess
gown with sticky hands.

Scenes from an Italian restaurant chain

After the high school
show they flirt over pizza
sodas at Uno’s.

Autumn precedence

Trees have never held
leaves as late as November.
Frost was wrong. Gold stays.

Thanksgiving bird = bird giving thanks

Fourteen wild turkeys
on my back deck raid the grape
vines looking for fruit.

Artistic insight

Vision isn’t so
much a function of seeing
as it is feeling.

Creative class

with props to selfinterestandsympathy for this one 

I will often cite
Richard Florida’s ideas.
People stare blankly.

Passage to India

I’m not here. I’m lost
in Varanasi. A world
Luke Storm opened wide.

Globalization

Site Meter tells me
my words are read in countries
I’ll never visit.

Blogosphere

If everybody
blogged, we could not go to war
knowing each other.
