Glass Towers


I never thought I'd like it

When the brick city in which I lived

So much of my life turned into glass towers lifting

On the skyline, the side streets, rising

Transparently on the avenues

Did I think I would admire

The glass towers that rise up where once

My brick city lived?

Transparency lifting the skyline,

On side streets and avenues adds a

Refreshing lightness to my being

A Full Cup

A full cup always fascinates me

Teetering, bubbling at the brink, almost

Going over the top, drama in a cuppa joe

Staying at the brim, with delicate little bubbles on the edge

Almost going over the top, the tension between air

And liquid as taut as any physical mystery

A full cup always fascinates me
