or how I spent 6 days Manhattan
determined faces
streets crammed with noise and taxis
a leaf slowly drifts
~
bridges touch the sky
stores display Jimmy Choo shoes
I'm in paradise
~
Manhattan tourists -
my sister only has eyes
for brawny firemen
~
sweating in long lines -
warned, be enthusiastic
or incur his wrath
(note: waiting for entrance to the David Letterman Show)
~
gorging on such art
I ask at the info desk
may I move in here?
(note: NY Metropolitan Museum of Art)
~
nephew's idea -
Yankees vs White Sox game
fan jumps into net
~
lost in Tribecca
or maybe Soho, who cares?
corned beef sandwiches!
~
medieval building
white unicorn in flowers
dances on the wall
(note: the Cloisters)
~
missing Chicago
breezy air, lakeshore beaches
trashcans in alleys
~

...Yet the stones remain less real to those who cannot
name them, or read the mute syllables graven in silica.
To see a red stone is less than seeing it as jasper—
metamorphic quartz, cousin to the flint the Kiowa
carved as arrowheads.
To name is to know and remember

i like to write haiku on postcards, to send when on vacation. The size of the card is perfect for the 3 lines and all I have time for, ... plus they're fun to write. 
thanks Heinz and Debbie.
