"I don't consider myself a pessimist. I think of a pessimist as someone waiting for it to rain. And i feel soaked to the skin."

WARNING
There were a lot of warnings
in the air – but I wasn’t looking
for or at them: breathing problems -
wrinkled skin – a fat belly –
a train whistle – there were
no lights on this street – and
I had to get to the end of it -
and it was night – right now.
So do I do the usual or do I
put one foot in front of the other
and start some serious walking -
looking over my shoulder, of course,

SUNLIGHT
Sunlight - like a fly - flies around
and settles on this and settles on that.
A moment here and a moment there….
I see it on leaves and rocks. I see it
on the hair of terriers and poodles.
The sparkle of sunlight seems to be
waiting to put what's around us in
the limelight. Better get outside and look –
all this is time sensitive – yet what's
around us doesn’t look too bad
in the Spring or Summer rain.
Autumn and snow? Oh no! Unless
you’re working on becoming a poet.

WHALES
AND PORPOISES
He lived on the edge of the ocean
and I heard him say several times,
“I’ve lived here by the sea all these years
and I’ve never seen a porpoise or a whale.”
And I heard this neighbor of him say
in return, “Oh I’ve see at least 100 of them.”
I guess some people can sit and watch
and wait and some people can’t. Oh I
Forgot, some people can lie and exaggerate.”
