scream.
my key fob missing its insides and screaming.
me looking for the insides of my key fob and screaming.

went to have coffee with my friend
locked up my car
put my key in my pocket
when i returned to the car
all i had left of my electronic key
was the empty screaming shell pictured above
insides were nowhere to be found
used the key/shell in the car door
and the panic button screamed nonstop
with no electronics to turn it off
until my car started
each and every time
a bit dumbfounded
as key fob was still in one piece
in my pocket
found a tiny screw missing in back
somehow it had
unscrewed itself
fallen out
opened itself up
insides popped out
closed itself back up
and was empty
like it never happened
interesting scenario
luckily i have daughters
with my keys all over the place
and my car has stopped screaming
but my old key fob still looks upset.

weekend in ‘the d.’
took a ride on the q line train
in detroit city
on it’s inaugural weekend
so full of happy people
got off at campus martius
a downtown oasis
sat on the beach
created right in the middle of the city
for outdoor summer adventures
enjoyed wonderful cuban jazz
live and in color
plus a little guy who couldn’t resist sitting in with the band
a natural improv artist of the highest order
the energy in the city was contagious.

cinderella story.
i wonder
who lost one rubber slipper
in the middle of the woods
maybe i will
cross paths
with the person
who is wearing the other
one day.

sculpture.
when we come down the stairs we see a magical scene
full of sculptures before us
and we cannot stop running to the sculptures
that are all around us
we find out the difference between the meaning of
‘static’ – still
(like sculptures)
and
‘kinetic’ – moving
(our group leans heavily on the kinetic side)
and at last we sit to hear the story of this one
trying to be static.
“what sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to the soul. “

pace.
along the path
on our walk
by the river
these tin soldiers
lie napping
in the sun
as they
await their moment
to fly once more.
“adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.”
