***

Looming oil field –

nodding industrial hell

Tree leaves decorate

***

Running stream flows down

Stench of algae and dead fish

Perhaps gasoline

***

Mixed feelings walk on

Hand in hand, our eyes far out

Look, the boys destroy

Yellow-shirt Kevin

Not at all camera shy

Squeals of raucous boys

***

Taking in the cold

Amazed at their beating blows

Hey, what is that there?

***

Dead cat-fish pummeled

His mouth talking to wet rocks

Sprite bottle floats by

***

No squirrels today

All varieties of duck

Water feathered foul

***

A girl shouts out loud

I want to get one!

Fishing is allowed

***

Baby carriage bear

Roller skates, scooters zip by

Refresh form for now

***

Converging duck-paddled wakes

mirror electric tower

***

***

Black-speckled leaves cover grass

An earring and cigar tip

***

***

***

Discarded things don’t feel much

Nothing matters in this yard

***

***

Sun goes painting orange sky

Night lights blast on until dawn

***

***

***

Good night, recreational

Pretend for another day
