Chills running down my spine

walking in the rain

a car splashes water

composure difficult to maintain

Calming down

walking into a cafe

getting the runaround

an interesting day

The waiter

fetches a towel

drying off

face with a scowl

A glass of wine

soup on the table

feeling better

more stable

Walking out

night has come

rain drizzling around me

street lights hum

As I meditate

walking down the street

a feeling of comfort

heat on the concrete

Home now

spirit is at rest

loving life

no longer stressed

An echo of freedom can be heard

elevated high in the sky

majestic creatures

swimming quite high

With the click of a button

photographs are made

still and grand

hall in the shade

Humans gasp

and hold up their hands

hoping a creature will perform

an act quite grand

The sea creatures are unbothered

as they swim in the sun

living unencumbered

quiet and fun

The aquarium is a facade

humans thinking creatures are in bondage

magnificent creatures are free

not held hostage

Each are released

back into the wild

held only for protection

when having a child

Curious tourists

learn about their habitat

how lives are lived

a wonder at that

The humans and creatures

are each at peace

living in harmony

happiness is within reach

Filling out an application

to a venerable institution

reflecting on my grandparents

who loved the constitution

From a distant land

to America they came

like a mermaid out of water

nothing was the same

With great hope and faith

from the sparks of dawn

hard work and dedication

they journeyed on

An old man and woman

sitting in a living room at night

filled with life and love

a beautiful site

Entering the revolving doors

an idea in his mind

the patriarch sat down

for a minute he was blind

Startled by a voice

looking at the woman with a glance

began an awkward conversation

her beauty was enhanced

He spoke softly

with a radical plan

they could make a fortune

he asked for her hand

Sitting up straight

she looked him in the eye

speaking from her heart

she could not lie

Sometimes people think they want something

not thinking it through

acting on emotion

especially after having a brew

In this cafe

it’s just you and I

for all you know

I could be a spy

The man thought for a moment

then got up and left

realizing he was about to commit

to certain death

The woman had a sly smile on her face

she was not a fool

being a black widow

was ever so cool

Waiting for her next victim

in the dim cafe light

listening to jazz music

it had been an interesting night
