Morning in LeFrak City

On a cluttered Queens
balcony he stands, watching
the complex decay.

Dubious milestone

Just over five months
This one four hundred fifty
Art or wasted time?

Live your dream

Today J begins
flying not yet a driver
the sky’s the limit

Night before the Academy Awards

Dreams of Oscars like
sugarplums dance in their heads.
Hollywood’s Christmas.

Sephora

Kid in candy shop
I dab on product in search
of my true colors.

Watching after 2 am

TV morphs into
loser land infomercials
for acne weight loss

Retail therapy

Drove to the city
to shop eat sushi buy fun
things that make us smile.

In sleep

Her breath sounds like the
whistle of distant trains bound
for lands beyond dreams.

Rock the vote

I go into the
booth knowing the past, making
the future my choice.

Misty mountain hop

Dawn the breath of a
new day paused when night exhales
sunrise dimmed by fog.
