Spectator Privileges

Recently at the Canyon Lake, we -three women in no boat, were just looking as if at sour grapes, at two women each on their jet skis.. I dont think they knew that they were splashing rainbows.

Nun

A dime size butterfly. Its underwings showing gray. Before I could dismiss this, I saw the lavender inside open and close.

Birds of Paradise

Two green birds
appear
as they
vanish.
My eyes still look
for the golden goose.

--Superstition Mountains

Unable

to perch on the
hanging Ocotillo
flowers
the bird slid
and slinked away.

--Phoenix Mountains

In the month of humming birds

one guards eggs
in a small nest
Another lies on its side
under a Baha Ruby Fairy Duster bush.

sounds so much better than unorthodoxy. Whats with the same new word appearing in any book I open this day? Hetero sounds so much more accomodating.

Dr Who?

I saw a kid feeding herself from Dr Brown's bottle. Then Dr.Scholl came to my mind. It went into my memory stack as another bottle brand until I saw the shoes ad later in the evening.
