Serenade
After the park
one weekend, lazy
dog walk, light beers, Chinese food.
Guitar in hand,
you serenade me
to keep away shared solitude.

Peanut
In a window
down the block
past the kids with
sidewalk chalk,
cat with languor,
eartip cut,
dark tabby fur,
named Peanut.

BeckSecond
At a corner on my walk,
a geographic marker beckoned.
Letters carved in cement block,
I see the cross streets "Beck" and "Second".

Pareidolia
Pareidolia, in this place,
made from metal stars and pipes.
If I told ya' it's a face,
you'd agree that I am right.
How we see it, who can say.
Maybe it's a trick of light.

or Maybe our brains work this way
to Dodge the wall man's slanted bite.

TinyBugs
Hidden microscopic bugs
eating holes in all the leaves.
I hope they don't invade my hugs
and give me itchy tickly sleeves.

Does the plant mind, do you think,
that it's riddled full of dots?
Or does it yearn for insect friends
and know the bugs must love it lots?
