ACAB
Handcuffed
for buying a
flower from a roadside
vendor.  America summed up
right there.

Walking
by me as I
wrestle with my regret,
she laughs - and for a short moment I
too smile

Summer
Two birds
waiting for seeds
squirrels hog the feeder

So Many Years
So many

but instead of wisdom

Montecristo
Silky
smoke, with a hint
of leather - succulent
spice from the cigar teases my
palette
