SUMMER IN THE CITY

[photo Joseph Bolanos, Gothamist]

On the breeze, a hint

Of rot. You shouldn't ask why

The sidewalk's slimy.

Decided to have swear words

Tattooed on my face

OUR PLAN FOR FIXING THE ECONOMY


[from The Atlantic]

Get rich by working

At home in all your spare time

You stupid losers

PUNK ROCK NOSTALGIA


We still know the words

To the Dead Milkmen's classic

"Bitchin' Camaro"

[Birds Barbie, for reals!]

THE WHITMANESQUE BURRITO

I am large; I contain a

Ton of beans and cheese

Everyone must "like"

My pika haiku [paiku]

Or this guy gets it

HUDSON RIVER SCHOOL


Pink light, fluffy clouds,

Lapping waves, sun sinking low,

The view from Sing Sing.
