My White House InterviewI was nervous about my newest client.

to at least show up,
although perhaps about...

Reminiscing what I went through in life.

Observing in silence the works of men,
Having no worries
Of carrier advancement,
Of acceptance,
Of recognition...
My only...

Spring Break V - Russians On Miami BeachI.
The Fish Crow is an outcast amongst the seagulls
Standing on the hot Miami sand
At the end
Of our rose-colored beach towel
Nodding and blabbing half-heartedly

To the lack of crumbs
From us
The stingy blue collar visitors
From freezing old...

And still I cannot breathe…
