flush

entertain fancies
that wait at the top; climb to
retrieve them, or not

as long as you know
that your cheeks are aglow

while you are climbing

mark the spot

on top of the world
while we watch, we're entertained
no reason to budge

character writing

we misunderstand
each other more than we should;
you're in character

so indignantly
you stay just slightly aloof
missing all the fun!

front stoop

pick me up, savvy
there's hardly a better time
for a rendezvouz

ask for it

I knew I waited
but I didn't think to call
instead I listened

only now it's clear
that my way onward is here!
I'd only to ask

or stay golden

given our exits
at times we prefer to stay,
make it to the roof

***

high light and low burns;
if I should name it golden
you'd reconsider

cerebral masse

individuals
en masse, si con la gente
derive momentum

***

give me another
walk around the block, so that
we know well the street

lucky daily

if you're game, I'll share
some of my lucky numbers;
they change every day

turn with others

faintly, I thought you'd
pass a world's turn in this place,
but you'd never need

*

rest on your druthers
and know that often, some will
rely on others'

funny, just under

funny, just under
four seconds passed before you
read my weary mind
