air-raid alarm

The air-raid alarm broke out at 1:30 pm.
The lazy traffic of the noon stood still,
the rain stopped drizzling,
the clouds sought refuge,
the only thing that was falling
was the shit scared out of a dove of peace.

green

The rain through the night cast a spell over trees.
Leaves are splashing with layers of colorful green.
It's a feast to the raising and sojourning eyes,
light green,
dark green,
dewy green,
drippy green,
dawning green,
twilight green,
jade green,
lime green,
misty green,
foggy green,

to name a few...

Some inspiration for the ladies….

One night President Obama and his wife Michelle decided to do something out of routine and go for a casual dinner at a restaurant that wasn't too luxurious. When they were seated, the owner of the restaurant asked the president's secret service if he could please speak to the First Lady in private. They obliged and Michelle had a conversation with the owner.


Following this conversation President Obama asked Michelle, why was he so interested in talking to you. She mentioned that in her teenage years, he had been madly in love with her. President Obama then said, "so if you had married him, you would now be the owner of this lovely restaurant", to which Michelle responded, "no, if I had married him, he would now be the President".

i saw you.
in the supermarket.
it's been almost 20 years since last time.
at first i just sensed someone nearby,
then some shadowy movement and kid's laughter,
the way you addressed your kid drew my attention.
that intonation, joyful and peculiar, it's you.
one thing in common, we both bought diapers;
i took a pack for my old man, you pushed a cart full of them for your lovely kid.
i didn't walk up to say hello, just let the memory surge over my mind.
Rumor has it that it's the end of the world.
we are survivors, after all.
best wishes for you and your family.
