insides and outsides

Dec 20

Open, car-free streets
Frigid footfalls of strangers
Make morning music

Dec 12

Morning on the Pike
We wake in our cars, and brush
Teeth in rear mirrors

Dec 8

Across the table
Colleague hums with ambition
In blue light of screen

Nov 30

Me:
Exotic Chai? A
Flavia disappointment
Dashes such sweet hope

Prem:
Franzia at night
Washes away bitterness
Of flavia drinks

Nov 23

A friend:
Family sleeps over
Where do I hide the condoms?
Thanksgiving panic

Nov 22
Silence from the boss
Filled with morning rain, and smells
Of fresh ground coffee

Nov 1

Dad:
A ticket today
A departure someday soon
Grandpa says pay half

Me:
A message too late!
Early saturday morning,
The cheque was sent off.

Oct 25

Human waterfall
Looks down, cursing upwards,
Struggling in the rain
