IN THE NIGHT SKY ABOVE THE CITY AVENUE

 

The moon high above

One star below on the left

Both move and shine bright

SCARE TACTICS IN THREE TAKES

 

CHARITY GOES TO WASHINGTON

The year was 1973, and I was teaching grade 6 in a public school in the theater district of Manhattan. 

I entered my class in an essay contest sponsored by Bella Abzug and one of my students won. She went to Washington, DC to read her essay to Congress. I found this photo: Charity goes to Washington. And I also found the (now very wrinkled and faded) letter I received informing us that she won. That was over 35 years ago. It seems like so long ago. I guess it was.

Through A Particular Kaleidoscope Lens

Time passed in this house

Where I had magical dreams

And now I am old 

ANTICIPATING HALLOWEEN

The lobby of my building has started to decorate to scare.
