From an estate sale –
pendulum clock. Westminster
chimes now count my days.
For whom the bell tolls

Trying Twitter
Emily Bronte * labored quietly but I * scream “Here are my words!”
Obama: Candid Date
It’s said women swoon
at his rallies, yet his wife
once called him stinky.
Daylight Savings Time – March 9
Spring ahead and lose
an hour. What I could have done
in that length of time…
The other half lives
It’s fun to see what
it’s like and then go back to
being nobody.
Empire State Building – in the elevator
Tourists whisked to the
top while on tenant floors, one
hears “shhhhhhsss” like secrets.
Empire State Building – at the base
Like a hick I tilt my
head to see the top and
ponder tossed pennies.
Morning in midtown Manhattan
In the skyscraper
canyons, light outlines moving
shapes sipping Starbucks.
Among extraordinary women
I am the dull one, struck
mute by accomplishment
what I do, nothing.
New York City from the air
Like a jeweler
displaying gems on velvet
wealth gleams beyond reach
