Lower East Side Day
Conversed with a woman who 
Came here from Chile...

The moon, the sea conversed
Above, the stars conspired
Within the universe –

And I did so aspire
To capture it in verse
And by it be inspired –...

Conversed with one who talked gobbledygook,
his mouth overflowed like a babbling brook,
so while his words don't impress
I had to escape this mess...
Excuse me, your fly is undone - just look!...

I saw him today
I conversed with him today
I witnessed sparks fly

A friendship starting
A relationship blooming
We need a ship name

Conversed today with my ninety-year-old sister
Now that's longevity, perhaps I should whisper
Case pearly gatekeeper's asleep
The great benefits she'd reap
Could be the gatekeeper might be into the liquor...

Conversed today with my ninety-two-year-old sister
Now that's longevity, perhaps I should whisper
Case the gatekeeper's asleep
The great benefits she'd reap
Or maybe the gatekeeper could be into the liquor...

Traced undated thoughts
Conversed deepest life's questions
Ageless wit surmount

Mind traversed within
Whilst vibrant colors  made hue
Gently asked questions

Embraced each other
Radiating every facet
Life's truest secret....

We had
met and conversed,
a rapport on first sight-
a chance meeting to a life's time
delight

We had
met and conversed,
a rapport on first sight-
a chance meeting to a life's time
delight
that
Summer
evening silken,
long..an encounter of
initiations together
explored
as
Desire
welled within-
words became a promise
so sublime,to love now and for
all time....

Mythical Myra lived in my mind
She was my bestie – lovely and kind
A terrific listener when I had to unwind
Giving me honest suggestions, not easy to find

A wonderful secret, enjoyable to keep
She usually conversed during deep sleep
In my dream, drove a classy Barbie-like jeep
The kind never found in a junkyard heap...

THE SHADOW BOX REMEMBRANT

drawing out a pen
drawing, drawing two legs...
Crossing with an eye in the middle
drawing a box around it staring.....
staring at it for a transfixed time....
the shadow remembrant
and the phone rings
...please.. please remind her not 
to forget what they had conversed...

I sport a mask, not to mention the fog
       Yesterday I tripped on a huge log
           Specks need; built-in wiper
              Didn’t see the sly viper
    To top it off, I conversed with a hog


*I wear glasses, and wearing the mask
  my glasses fogs up when I breathe

I've left it alone.
If for no other reason,
Then it takes to much to justify.
Every time.

I've touched on it with my loved ones,
Gone over it with friends,
Conversed with colleagues
and poured over it with the passer-bys.

But as I drove my car over the bridge,
I decided - I'll leave it alone.
It's nothing to do with me anyway....

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
We had
Met and conversed
A rapport on first sight
A chance meeting..to a life-times
Delight
that
Summer
Evening,silken
Long..an encounter of
Initiations together
Explored
as Desire
Welled within
Words became a promise
So sublime,a love now,and for
All time

She conversed with the butterflies
The more abrasive ones says she lies.
But to kin, ability is no big surprise
Spirit animals speak to her through God’s eyes.

An empath’s heart will truly expand and rise.
In the present of the spirit sent to surmise
Whether or not she is living her highest highs.
Studying her today are His monarch butterflies....

We ate the turkey and the sides,
We watched the big parade,
Conversed with all the grown-ups
And with grandkids laughed and played.

A typical Thanksgiving
But quite special nonetheless
And as a guest, I didn’t cook
Or clean up all the mess!

Of all the holidays, this one
Unites both kith and kin,
Reminding us of where we are
In life, and where we’ve been....

We had a very mad affair 
But that was years ago 
Now we are both turning grey 
Our eyes have seen sorrow and pain 
It was good to see her
We come from different traditions 
I am a somewhat observant Jew 
She was raised a Roman Catholic 
Does that matter? 
Some would say yes, others no 
I guess assimilation is on the table 
But I have been to Israel and that changed me somewhat 
Well two souls conversed this afternoon 
I don't regret it...

Moon and Sun conversed one day debating which
one lead the way to happiness for those who gaze
at sun and moon so far away-
Sun claimed warmth and sunbeams bright-
moon claimed romance thru the night-
Sun said flowers lean toward me-
moon said my light leads the way-
moon said I can change my look-
crescent, full and in-between-
sun came back with this to say-
my warmth makes for a lovely day-
sun and moon finally agreed to become one
and eclipsed that day....

At Jimmy Carter’s funeral
A senator exclaimed
He saw Obama “kiss the ring”
Of He-Who-Can’t-Be-Named.

I watched the clips and verified
The two of them conversed.
It was a bit surprising, but
It didn’t seem coerced.

Most others kept their distance,
Which is what I would have done,
For I’m sure I couldn’t cozy up
To someone I would shun.

Yet perhaps it’s just diplomacy
That people should expect,
But it’s hard for most to share a laugh
With one they don’t respect.
