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.
Stacey Harwood (NYT, October 4, 2004)

Radio
I left it
on when I
left the house
for the pleasure
of coming back
ten hours later
to the greatness
of Teddy Wilson
"After You've Gone"
on the piano
in the corner
of the bedroom
as I enter
in the dark
from New and Selected Poems by David Lehman
Vivid snapshots of New York in haiku form! Beautiful.
