Offsite meeting of the computer geeks

We all complain there’s
no place to plug in. One by
one, our laptops die.

Why I’ve been absent

Haiku, like bonsai,
needs care and pruning. A mind

Silda Wall Spitzer

Wan, pale, red-eyed, she’s
the poster wife of Wynette’s
song, “Stand By Your Man.”

Saving grace

While I throw pennies
into a coin jar, Bear Stearns
gets a big bailout.

For whom the bell tolls

From an estate sale –

Like a hick I tilt my
head to see the top and
ponder tossed pennies.

Flushing Meadows Park
once a site of hope. There, a
globe pledged future peace.
