elusive species
hunted by humans who are

looking for zest in the city
warm zephyr wafting
zig-zagging along
seeing some zeal on the street
couple zen types
also a lot of zombies
it’s sort of a zoo zone
but no zebras ha ha

ready set go
i’m playing a game called Set
you set yourself down
and the problem set for you is
to find sets of matching cards
fast enough to set a new record
when i do badly it don’t set too good with me

some differences between us remain unbridgeable

Escort

A grandmother (Anne) living with her family down on the corner occasionally wanders (Alzheimers). I found her this morning sitting in my garden gazebo.

The air was indian-summer soft. Birds busy in the woods. I called Anne’s daughter. Then we had coffee and a pastry and I escorted her home.

moths fill the air near
our lantern at night while we
sit around the fire
