siren on the mic
We are not expecting much,
a guitar, a chick - the typical such and such.
But what guts and verve,
she consumes us like a quick hors-de-oeuvre.

urban boulevard
Auto dealers, fast food and drifters oh my!
Cars seethe and buses chortle under evening sky.
Babies, bums and us sideline walkers
saunter past hapkido, fortune and other hawkers.

weary
Beat the drum and row four more,
gird the loins and drive for a score.
The heart flags and legs wobble,
hobbled, but victory we cobble.

lush
Drunk trees stagger with dew,
clouds dunk the haggard with ju-ju.
Birds buzz a laggard head,
A hunky sun says never go to bed.

working girls
Morning women wander to the bus
with hair, outfits - the workaday fuss.
They smell like chemical flowers
waiting resolute to devour the hours.

coffee house girls
God bless the caffeine java queens
with tats, laughter and artfully ripped jeans.
They have good jokes and scary conspiracy theories.
They should be honored on a trading card series.
