longer than my break
the spring sun
holds me


honeybees
living in the wall –
the realtor’s frown



the parking lot full
of glittering chrome
Custer’s Battlefield


after the party
undressing

end to end
three Ramblers take part
in the overgrown field


everyday she waits
at the bus stop ;
just to wait


cleaning the poop out…
his little Superman
underpants
