She forgot to take her bag, 
The metro already passed that stop....

As you enter the room
Lands on the ivory
And plays your sweet. slow melody

TOKYO METRO

the eerie silence
packed in with no elbow room —
assignment Japan
           the American’s  mischief
erupts in stifled laughter

"O feel the contours of my tush!
Ounce for ounce
Cheeks will bounce
With just an itty-bitty push!"...

Resting on a garden of stars
loud metro hours pause,
till I find my center
soothing tired breath
along winks of night’s orchard.

Jim the Trim’s been watching too much video
The kind that caused rise in his libido
Mind still on a femme fatale
Was brought to the hospital
His front was trapped by the doors of the Metro.

BLUE   FACE


They’re  in  metro looking at  text-phones
My son in  bedroom  staring  at computer
Office staff watching  screens  of numbers
All  aglow
Silent one-way communion
New  electronic  god to talk to
Church of the blue-faced zombies...

Sirens and metro buses
Detectives and narcs
Hustlers and thieves.
 
Friends and foes
Currency and narcotics
Bums and dope fiends.
 
Soft or hard
Packaged or dumped
White or green.
 
Love and disdain
Loyalty and trust
Hope and shattered dreams
This is my block....

Limerick: Once a mum Mademoiselle rode in a Metro

           for Heather M.

Once (a) mum Mademoiselle rode in (a) Metro
Felt snug and dozed dreaming of Brando
Lights went out, the train stopped
Coach temperature dropped
She woke up in arms of Eskimo.

Mumbai’s summer heat …twice a year…. May and October
Sweltering, humid, perspiration beads dripping down 
Like a drunkard staggering in crowded trains and metro
Waiting to rush into your airconditioned office
Yes we are there… sipping sweet lemon juice 
A sweet relief to nature’s torment...

Medida

A grande medida
da montanha
do sucesso,
seu, do meu
e de toda a gente
é saber que, 
tudo aquilo
que você realmente 
quer é apenas 
o que você 
realmente precisa.

É mil vezes 
mais sensato
deixar de falar
do alto 
e subir um metro
da montanha 
e fazer sempre,
mais e mais....

Now sliding in peace the hues of day
Maybe this I fully  know
Above the groves, the lonely plains
Of deepened soot and down to where
The busy metro huffs below--
Again I feel the minty dawn
Swell inside my breath  till all 
Of chilly mist is softly drawn.

Metro Cardigan
with a slim fit.

Be in your thinking mature.
Hero of the day.
Atlantic Starr

Moving steadily besides the still waters.
May goodness follow me.
Ensemble Cymbalta.

Skyscrapers on top of cloud atlas,
Vanilla sky fools delight of a purple sky.
Rotating around the earth's axis.
Now let's end it on a good good note.
