A DOLL HOUSE

 

 

 A DOLL HOUSE

Years of imagination, creativity, dreaming, wondering

While playing with the doll house

Now being tossed out into the garbage 

Replaced by what?

 

FOR THE BIRDS

 

 FOR THE BIRDS

You could say

Those little houses 

Attached to the dead tree

On Kew Gardens Road

Are for the birds

So far 

No complaints

SEEKING TIME TRAVELERS

 

 

SEEKING TIME TRAVELERS

The sign says they are seeking experienced time travelers

Obviously it has to be something else

Experienced time travelers must have better things to do

Than to respond to a help wanted sign 

Stuck on a lamppost on Queens Boulevard

You would hope so at least

But you never know

The Time Traveling racket

Might be a little slow

This time of the year

 

LAND OF THE GIANTS

 

 LAND OF THE GIANTS

I don’t know why exactly I thought of 

Land of The Giants

An old TV show

When I saw the huge leaves 

Of the Elephant Ear plant

Perhaps somewhere burrowed 

Deep inside our brains are 

All the hours of television 

We ever watched playing 

On an endless loop

RAIN GARDEN

 

 RAIN GARDEN

Sometimes a clever idea

Is to allow for a place

To grow into a green space

And give it a catchy name

REMEMBRANCE OF THINGS PAST

 REMEMBRANCE OF THINGS PAST

The storm came and went over a week ago

All traces have disappeared

Except for this small vestige of snow and ice

Which refuses to get the message

It now fancies itself a sculpture:

Remembrance of Things Past

EGGS

EGGS

Eggs lie shattered on a sidewalk

On 108th Street

Only an obstacle for pedestrians

To walk around

Seen on the floor of a gallery

An artistic statement?
