Saturday market
In Union Square: Cantaloupes
Alongside apples.
Confused by weather
The woman on the subway
Wears socks and sandals.
Turning a corner,
Into Sixth Avenue wind,
The man holds his hat.
At Gonzo cafe
On Thirteenth, outdoor tables
Are empty by eight.
Looking up, nothing.
On the horizon, two lights
Grow brighter, then dim.

These made me smile, Stacey! (I think it was me you saw with the socks and sandals - lol!)
