newsstand
keeper sneaks a centerfold peek
Police raid on the street…
Lo: the fingers of the vendor
are bleeding just now!

lake tahoe
a bear cub sips a beer
in the back of a convertible
grocery aisle-
touching the same artichoke
we exchange smiles
Evocative.
sunny field
feral strawberries
happy child
