History and the fate of walls

While in east Berlin

I saw the unpainted side

of the Berlin wall

Today, it’s no longer there

Torn down by happy people

Not so O.K. Corral

Arizona state.

Once I was in Old Tucson

Saw a great gun fight

Lot of noise but no one died

Not the same in Chicago

Why I wear boots in the Desert

You are not alone

In the desert. Unseen eyes

stand guard, watching you.

scorpions, spiders and snakes

will strike  at the unwary.

My Imagination wanders

A swarthy Mexican

Elongated on the ground

a sombrero on his nose

like a parasol

1:00p.m. in Sonora, Arizona

The streets are empty

No people out and about

It’s siesta time.

Las calles están vacías,

No hay gente fuera de casa.

Es hora de la siesta

I can put you in a quandary

What I say is true

You  accept it in good faith

or not believe me

What would you wish for?

When there is no Moon

The dark sky is full of stars

Free to wish upon

Life on the edge of the prairie

Falling snow in May

Cottonwoods release their seeds

White wind-blown fur balls

Rice

Fluffy or sticky.

Sticky rice good for sushi.

Fluffy for curry.
