FIREWORK ABSTRACTS

July Fourth
2017
NYC
From the roof of a fourteen story building at
Peter Cooper Village

I stood in one spot on the roof and the force of the explosions seemed to vibrate the air.  Though I was braced and steady, each photograph shadowed itself. I also think I was set at too slow a speed to freeze the images,
but I like the results.
I moved slightly closer.
One of my favorite Images.
The figure is a guard from the complex watching.
I was several feet behind.

ANOTHER DAY ANOTHER DOLLAR



Ha!
If I had a truck and a store, here's
a brand new couch in the rain.
Visiting
Peter Cooper Village
Wendy and I walked to the East river after coffee and a chat in which her son explained bit coins to me and I understood them (then), 
Just drifting.   
 This rain has a sharp bite to it.  I was mighty glad I wasn't far from home, and that I had  my hooded ankle length raincoat on with some down under it, boots, a warm hat and gloves!  It's so much easier with the right gear.
 First Avenue divider
with a spare crocus patch
A perennial indoor window garden
right down the block
Home  then, and reading a trash-found magazine addressed to a woman who no longer lives here.  There's a whole lot of moving in and out in the building, in a whole lot of buildings actually.  It's a subtext to my life, a real estate mystery.  Meanwhile, inside the magazine these  boiled-wool slippers embroidered
The fledgling on the window sill under the A/C "eeep-eeeps" and then falls silent when full.  The rain rains, and my little old computer strains.  It was brown rice and adzuki beans again tonight, and later (Free-plucked from the garbage still in it's wrapping) Jim Hensons' "The Dark Crystal"
"A one of a kind imagination marvel"

We are, you and me, as all life forms are, one of a kind.
