SEASONAL
February
Jet glint over Newark,
false-spring twilight.
Cops kick a man in the cold
as we pay for bread.
Unborn shadows want light.
Unfed cat: me now, me now.
August
Three subway Peruvians:
pipe, strum, drum.
We clap and drop tribute—
till muffled by the express.
A man supplicates for change.
On or off—open-and-shut.
November
Black pearls, white pearls.
Winston's gold jubilee
at Met’s oils and marbles.
Jet-blue-haired, red-faced
Chief Red Jacket glares
on the Stanhope matches.
New Years
Nomad starves, cripple hobbles,
celebrity yields charity.
Good leg limps?
Full stomach hungers?
Electric apple falls.
Broadway fireworks stutter.
