Fresh from church
his goodwill dissolves
at the first busy intersection.

Small stones of kindness
I don't always see the selflessness
behind small stones of kindness,
but today I did.

Yesterday
Yesterday, I selected a small stone
and then, with my distraction
it lay forgotten as I moved on to other things
lost to the mumblings of cast aside pebbles.

Words
Eager to begin his day, he left
before I awoke, his note
breaking the silence
of an empty kitchen.

Before school
Cumbersome cars nudge and bump
in the race for the most convenient parking space,
walking to be avoided at all costs.

Breaking the fall
today I tripped on a small stone
before I could see it clearly.
embedded in the palm of my hand
before I could see it clearly.

More school
a four wheel drive, engorged
with it's own self importance
discharges its small cargo
a preppie emerges
a small dot in green and gold,
matching shell on his back
precariously balanced,
I wait for the backward fall
of an upended turtle

Hopes and dreams for sale
outside the lotto agency
a queue forms on the frosty path
warmed by their hopes and dreams
