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
