Heat from the pavement
Rises in shimmering waves
Torrid summer day
Looking for relief
Fire hydrants gush cooling spray
City children play

Avalon Hurricane Snowstorm
Twas nice to see folks
Of St. John’s, Mount Pearl, surrounds
Turn a hurricane
Snowstorm into a
Snow clearing activity
For everybody.
Shutins, fire hydrants,
Vehicles, drive and walkways
Were all cleared with cheer.

Mad as loons in the midday heat
Hydrants open, oh the treat.
Screaming, laughing, splashing too
Bystanders enjoying the hullabaloo.
Joyous children having fun
Cooling off beneath the Sun,
Smiling faces, having a riot.
Parents wishing they could try it.

Took my dead dog for a long walk today.
I like to think that some that passed by
glimpsed the whisk of her bushy tail
or heard her cheerful panting,
as she strained at the leash.
I was reading a book about Shelties,
how they were bred to be working dogs,
sheep herders,
and won’t ever be lapdogs.
Back home, both tuckered-out,
I glance down,
she is asleep already,
no doubt chasing my legs,
around a bunch
of lampposts and fire hydrants.
Old Man At The Diner
He slaughters his hamburger steak
with a fork and a butter knife,
massacres ringlets of onions
again and again
thumps catsup all over
the bloody commingling,
then ever so slowly
peppers and salts
and reminds me of Hrebic,
whose wife, back
on the block of my youth,
sat all summer out on her stoop,
knees awry, one eye black,
the other turning gray,
sunning the great white hydrants
of her phlebitic legs.
