banana skin
in the trash bag
my lost button
stop signs
in the back of a pickup—
the lurch when the light changes
not seeing the green wheat
till that one
red barn
impatient schoolkids—
pink tulips sway to a different rhythm
than the red ones
squeezing orange peels
by the candle flame—
sparks of smell
orange sky—
the clouds seem to be fading
movie-black
the black-and-white movie
reaches a climax—
slurp of soda
