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.

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

Double entendre overheard at LaGuardia

“We’re domestic,” a
blonde woman tells her daughter
in line at the gate.

1964 World’s Fair Unisphere

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

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?
