Snap Shots
Patulous lawns, thick with pale bodies.
Heaps of young families at picnics, games and naps.
A girl tenderizes her beau’s beefy back, pummeling.
A passel of small pet parrots are jujubes in the grass.
On the river pass rusty oil rigs and gaff-rig sloops.
The water is gray like galvanized aluminum.
The sky is the faintest tint of dilute blue.
The clouds are maps of polar continents, archipelagos, fjords.
Here now is an unoccupied bench, beneath sun-green plumes.
What kind of trees, with such filigree leaves, are these?
The hectic Hudson is sequined and bosomy.
The Statue of Liberty is an Isadora Duncan arabesque.
The high-rises of Jersey City stand skeletal, blue and green.
Low on the shore, the Colgate clock reads 3:15.
