winter coming on–
a man hitchhiking south
in his wheelchair
rural interstate–
all the other cars
exit together
rooster crowing
two old soldiers
at the bar
full morning moon —
the working girl’s
gauzy blouse
Thanksgiving rush —
not as late
as that flock of geese

potluck
After a long drive to visit my parents (early Thanksgiving),
I sure need a mug of coffee. Thank goodness the good folk at
blood pressure risk – but not caffeinated colas,” Nov. 10, 2005):
Relax ladies and, possibly, gentlemen. Have that
second cup of coffee. The largest study to date
concludes that the caffeine won’t raise your risk
of high blood pressure. However, too much soda
pop, sugared or diet, might.
Women who drink more than three cups of coffee a
day are less likely to develop high blood pressure
than those who drink four or more cans of caffeinated
soda a day.
