Lingering like an invisible
Cylindrical cloud
The bracing odor
left by the
Apparently homeless woman
Who I saw shuffling so slowly
Towards the store
In the parking lot
As I went in for coffee
Has now arrived
in the coffee line
As I am ready to leave;
N.Y. bums lined-up on the sidewalk
Rancid urine, sweat and feces.

Memorial Day Memorium and another poem or two
#1915 20080526
Memorializing
the heroes of war --
Those spirits past
who knowingly wagered their lives
For the causes of freedom, justice,
and independance --
Wondering if todays' heroes have
been afforded this honor;
Memorializing todays' tragedy of trust.
(> 4,000 military deaths, and ~= 30,000 military casualties)
#1914 20080526
"Hmmm"-ing a first note
As they excitedly stop what they're doing
(eating, chewing cud)
to start running over
"Bah"-ing desperately;
Tuning the drone on their
"Bah"-bagpipe.
#1916 20080526
Squeaking
The moist green
tops of the grass
Out of the stem
While grazing;
Birds chirping.

San Juan Poets
I just rediscovered this blog while trying to add myself to San Juan Poets. It's been forever since I've thought about this blog. Maybe I should pick it up again.
