Anticipation

Making travel plans,
like getting dressed for a date,
is a leap of faith.

Deal or no deal

TV’s “Fisherman
and His Wife” story for our
times. Unalloyed greed.

Thrill of the kill

Urban mall jungle.
Shoppers prowl for deals, fangs bared,
credit cards dripping.

J’s sense of style

She’d buy Free People,
match and mismatch carelessly,
revel in oddball.

Urban Outfitters

J’s Pied Piper calls.
Mecca of offbeat fashion,
she shops in a daze.

Improv Olympics

They create out of
nothing whole scenes, entertain
from mere suggestions.

Chicago

The Windy City
carries aloft a million
dreams on fierce updrafts.

Times Square

The heart of the world.
Like fireworks that never fade
explosions of light.

Front seat driver

Off to NYC
tomorrow. Garmin riding
shotgun. Can’t get lost.

Winfrey loves Obama

Oprah and Barack
sit in a tree, campaign for
the Presidency.
