NO VAMPIRES ON THIS TRAIN

Massive garlic breath

From a nearby passenger

At seven a.m.

MEMO TO THE TREES OF THE HUDSON VALLEY

The calendar says

It's spring! Please make a note to

Leaf up already.

BACK ON TERROR FIRMA

For a frisson of

Excitement on the commute,

Worry about death.

BACK FROM VACATION

This thing in the back

Of the refrigerator

May once have been food

THE PAIN OF AMBIGUITY

Does "different" have

Two syllables or three? Man.

Haiku can be tough.

THE WEARING OF THE GREEN

Will a real rain come

Someday, to wash all of this

Green beer off the streets?

BEEN THERE

Guess what, young people!

You too will be old someday

If you are not dead.
