Minneapolis Landmarks, Summer 2020

A Dairy Queen stop
Then 38th-Chicago
A silent ride home

Summer Sleep Hazards

Slept though the thunder
Until the cat made my face
His landing target

Covid Miracle

They say “Let’s play Wii”
That’s their code for fight and flee
But tonight, they play

Backyard Summer

We quash the day’s heat
With lounge chairs in the backyard
The stars snag our chat

Teen in Summer

The fourteen year old
Hunkered behind his closed door
A/C over us

Front Yard, Finally

On a hushed June night
We lounge under two old oaks
Perched above our street

Tech Progress

GenX happy hours
Before we had corded phones
Now video drinks

Cloud Entrance

Wind calls me outside
“Look at the sinister sky”
And now we both wait

Minneapolis, June 2020

Uptown looks beaten
Boarded up windows, skid marks
Windows with gun shots

Trump’s Selling Points

Drinking water cheers
Not waiting for ramp rescue
Sure, why not four more?
