14th Street at DuskThis city / It’s much too big for me— / Or maybe too small.

DaydreamLet’s move to a hippie commune. Let’s grow out our hair and spend our days sitting under the shade of sweeping, graceful trees. Let’s spend so much time outside that our hair goes blonde. Let’s write poetry in notebooks and not be afraid to read it out loud. Let’s make friends who care about things. People who want to help other people. I want to be a person among the noise but who does not always need to contribute to it. / Let’s listen. Listen to what our fellow people have to say—and then let’s support them. Can we just sit around a campfire and let that be the thing we do that night? / Now and then, let’s go out and be whatever the community needs. Not because we should nor because of some religious mandate, but because we can. I want to be part of a community that leans on each other. No hierarchies. Common good. Putting forth what one has, be it material or otherwise, for the sake of sharing. Let’s feed birds, squirrels and children.

Ages Past RetiredFeet barely lifting, yet pounding the trail / He runs like the park’s percussion, / A metronome moving toward me.

Across from the TheatreFresh fish caught on Friday’s cast / Fills the plate with a flavour few have known, / The aroma of a French dinner party

SienaAir: soft, warm, old, kept and distilled, / grasps my skin in heat so comfortable / enveloping the chill from moments before,

Letting You SleepThere's nothing like a lazy Friday / Nothing quite like it / Waking up without an alarm,

August in ErieSun kept secret by a blanket of grey / Warm water, an aimless, welcomed gift from cool air / Toes squish into soft sand below
