More poetry by that ever elusive Robert Denby


Good Morning!

Nothing
makes
them 
happier 
than 
walking
hand 
in 
hand
across
the 
parking
lot 
at 
8:50
on
Thursday 
morning.

Pale Red Turns Green

And
the car
next to me
pulls away
before
the first
chorus of
"Eyes 
Without 
a Face"
can
kick in.

Delivery on ICE

The
FedEx
guy
pounds
at 
the 
door
like 
our 
house
is
full
of
citizens
who
don't
look 
American
enough.

Turning Lane

A
  can
 of
   Monster
  lies
flattened
        in
      its
  own
   puddle
  before
       its
         pull
       tab
         ever
        got
            to
          be
           popped

Poem of the Week

Li-Young Lee behind
a translucent screen
in the varnished cedar
kiosk by the driveway
as the landscaping crew
goes to work with a leaf
blower and hedge trimmers.
