A new life it seems 
Has come my way
In the mountains 
And plains of Wy-o-ming

I look out of my window
And Antelope play
Go out to the kids place
Where the buffalo stay

The rain has been plenty
And the...

The meanest Missouri drought ever made us all pretty mad.
No one was happy, everyone gloomy and sad.
Mother Nature was holding us hostage, completely unfair.
There was misery, and dry mouth and mean in the air.

Pleasantries of passivity before the pinch of shrill cold
ripples over the landscape in the suburbs of Buffalo—
before its trees crispin and leaves twirl about— giggling
like school girls, rippling in the claustrophobic dark.

My existence, contingent on...

They are many and various, and in my neck of...

Sidewalk hot, 
you could fry an egg. 
Arizona summer heat, Phoenix roast factory. 
Sweat pouring off my brow like Noah's flood. 

Sky, light turquoise, tweaked into a 
sun radiant reflective furnace. 
Shimmering down alleyways in...

It was a hazy, hot humid evening
with the air conditioners all humming along
as the tube gave us a severe weather alert
like a vortex here came the violent thunderstorm

We heard the wild wind whistling dixie

Breathe easier and healthier because Autumn has arrived.

Rest O ye weary soul; relax and take a walk through golden lanes.

Easy does it, stretch at high noon; exhale and chill with the sunset.

Autumn leaves are preparing...

I don’t know that anything about me
is original – I mean, all of my atoms,
I’ve been told, once belonged to some
dimwit creature (hmm...) roaming the earth 
long before air-conditioners and Mai Tais...

And talk about Sin!...

For bold references
Are the fat differences
Between Women of America
And The Sun-Blackened of Africa
Who in torrents sweat
But over this not fret
In no hurry to involve air-conditioners
Rather through prayers to God Petitioners …

The Jilted-By-Her-Lover cries her head...

“ROOM 215”



ash outlines, 
the bodies of cigarettes.

dry grass is a pillow 
for the homeless.

street lamps,
air conditioners with 
guards,
 
the paramedic waiting for the 
green light,
digital advertising, 
bump moans from neighbors in 
connecting rooms,
sprinklers watch me...

Looking at thee, O Tree,
O Nature's miracle maker,
To me ye offer
An amazing journey—
A journey of insight,

That in his growing disconnect with nature,
In his arrogance, nature to master,
Man has only plied his own plight.

Thou art O...

A dark gloomy sunless start
Cold and calculating
Frost on the windows
Icy streets
Snow on the ground
Hot chocolate to be made
Another Winter’s day

Sun coming over the horizon
Birds singing at dawn’s first light
Green grass dusted with morning dew
Mowers mowing
Flowers...

There’s a new chill in the air today
as fall yawns in early September
allowing overworked air conditioners
to cease their constant droning.

Once sealed windows are raised in welcome
to this short repast from summer’s heat
while children standing at...

94 degrees
and rising
4th day in a row
Vegetation is turning yellow
Flowers are wilting
Tempers are rising

Air conditioners are cranking away
TVs are blinking
People sit  idly in chairs, not moving,
staring at screens,
mesmerized,
until they fall asleep

Too hot to garden
Too...

With less innocence in you,
You can function in any bank:
Naked words choosing very few,
Tact fully frank…
A real acting of the Real Jew,
A face not crank.

With less of our Christ
And your scruples sliced,
You would drop not...
