The Right Time

b
the right fielder,
his eyes caught
by the rising moon
autumn sunset
trying to remember
how an eclipse works
the new moon
crosses the sun
first autumn morning
Seen in the mirror near the door of the pizza place on 8th Avenue and 13th Street:
a man carrying
a bouquet of roses --
the couple he becomes
isn't this a fine daybbbto quit your job?
flickering plane lights,
the river's rhythmic surface
autumn sunset
pen-shaped clouds
crossed by planes
time speeds up
time slows down
. . . your move
hudson river view
the new mexico colors
overshadow Liberty
choppy waterbbbon the hudson
seeing ghostsbbbor souls rising
9/11/06
turning in a suitably bland
letter
of resignation
