you can’t recall, like the name
of your first grade friend

Two actors eating lunch
Intense chemistry
onstage. In real life, silent,
eyes not quite meeting.
Daylight savings spring ahead
Night pushed back, a dark
blanket kicked aside as the
sun stays wide awake.
Channel surfing at 3 am
Late night TV a
wonderland of fast money
junkyard of trashed dreams.
Coffee date
Conversational
buzz a backdrop to clinking
spoons stirring white clouds.
Missed the bus
Now she has time to
blow dry her hair while I rub
away sleep, then drive.
Random acts of afterschool kindness
M came home and washed
all the dishes in the sink
trying to be nice.
Dog tired
Our longer springtime
walks knock him out. There he lies
fat happy fur child.
Long walk in sunshine
Dog is lagging yet
clear skies pale green leaves urge me
to linger longer.
Youngstown, NY
Where river meets lake
we stand as Toronto gleams
across the waters.
