SAILING
Think sailing
America's Cup
Newport
But anything is possible in Queens
Even sailing
COLOR BLIND
Walking by the flower
I was drawn to its color
Which color
I can't tell you
As I am color blind
More like shade blind
But I still can't tell you what
Color it is
But I can sense its beauty
Its composed power
Not too in your face
(At least not mine)
But just enough to capture
Your attention
CREATION
Engulfed by concrete
Within the seats of Yellowstone Park
Life somehow finds a way to rise
Creation is the default mode of the universe
AFTERMATH
In some neighborhoods of Queens, people went back to their normal lives after the flood waters of Hurricane Ida. In others, they weren't so lucky.

MORNING AFTER
The morning after the remnants
Of Hurricane Ida dumped
More than seven inches of rain
The sun is out in Queens
The cicadas are singing
And a monarch butterfly
Is going about its business
Nature never takes a break
