Skip down the sidewalk.
Make sure your neighbors
See you doing it.
Observe Red Rubber Nose
Day. Tell corny jokes on
Purpose. Tell serious people
It takes fewer muscles to
Smile than it does to
Frown. Feed a squirrel.

Purple Sunglasses
I gave her the purple sunglasses
Thinking she considered them a
Joke but she actually liked them.
She was like that, loving, open
And tolerant of my goofy ways.
It’s been two weeks since she
Has been missing. The only
Lead we have is that somebody
Thought they saw her being
Shoved into a car. And, well,
I did find the purple sunglasses
On the sidewalk.
Sidewalk
An old man wearing a tattered
Coat limps down the sidewalk
On a cold winter day carrying
His camera with him wrapped
Up in a newspaper
Taking pictures was his livelihood
Now it is all he can do to get back
To the warmth of his one room
Apartment
