Sleep
Sleep is an individualistic exercise,
A realm we enter with closed eyes
An altered state, natural and divine,
With surreal scenarios so elusively sublime
Wrought From Steel
Rebar is routinely wrought from steel for a supporting role in a bigger deal.
Parked on Park Ave
Always Available
Vacant benches, when they're cold and wet, are always available upon to set
Read MorePreparation
The essence of an issue is what matters
Some basic principles that form a core
A premise lays the initial foundation
From which success may ultimately soar
An outline maps the path to progress
Charting key actions along the way
Milestones mark completion of steps
Performance celebrated on important days
Preparation can be a most tiresome bore
Filled with repetition and effort unseen
But then onstage, the effort will look easy
And watchers will shine an appreciative sheen

Staccato Of Shadows
Staccato of shadows right angled upon sand from a wind fence set to mute Nature's hand
Orchard Beach, The Bronx
Gears
With six gears forward, and one gear back
Manual transmissions beget a minimal degree of slack
Downshifting fosters engine braking when properly done
But I find acceleration upwards to be the most fun
Picking up speed while working gears 2 through 5
Then a final clutch to drop down into overdrive
Alas the speed limit's met at merely 2300 RPM
It's my GTI that wants my foot to issue many more of them ...

Read MoreCrisp Is The Air
An October evening, crisp is the air
The blowing wind toys with my hair
The pizza pickup is a short walk away
Take-out's the call after a busy day
Two personal pies - one gluten free
For Sunday night football is soon on TV
We'll be ready and set to bring our cheer
With slices and drinks, to the couch we'll steer
Our team needs a win, that's for sure
Oh pleeease don't let our offense be a bore
Read MoreCommute To The City
Emerging from apartments, rejuvenated with rest, workers commute to the city, ready to give it their best
Window reflections overlaid on a train station in The Bronx
A Miraculous Hue
The square root of four is the number two
And one plus one adds to me and you
In a linear equation that's most dear and true
Repeating generationally in a miraculous hue
Soft Serenade
Rustling reeds whispering just beyond reach in a soft serenade on the boardwalk by the beach
Read MoreGlory Of Grace
Feelings flow from the heart; beliefs are born by the brain
By quieting down conscious thought, the glory of grace can be obtained
Rights Of Way
U-turns, K-turns, practicing to parallel park
Blind spots, rear-views, use of high-beams in the dark
Speed limits, school zones, learning rights of way
Teaching defensive driving, at all times of day
