“Ignored Him-A-Cane Detritus” Tanka 309

Soft, silent statues

seen through mucked glass and worse eyes

‘mache’ or bad light?

 

Hiding behind the ‘dumpstuff’

a week past due for pickup.

“Eat’em While They Tart!”

so-tart muscadines:

gotta gett’em early ‘fore

they turn awful – sweet!

“City Streetside Bench”

City bench: air dry .

The walk breeze bereft, sweatwet

but I beat sunrise!

“The Glory of Self-Education”

Lean back on this bench

and, Eureka! find some shade!

A self-taught marvel!
