Disasters, Delights and Other Detours - 31. Three Unpartnered Skyscrapers
One.
Leaves start slow;
first a few rogue sumacs,
then the hawthorn and broad catalpas;
ash, poplar and maples accelerate the change
from full green leaf to flaming hillside,
while proud oaks refuse to
surrender.
Two.
Sway me to
invisible music,
listen to sunsets paint pink cloudscapes;
let us taste erudition's vintage subtleties
which dance samba on the intellect
under the silver moon's
sweet caress.
Three.
No Alpha
could I aspire to be,
still less do I possess beta's strength,
nor Gamma's sympathy, or Omega's patience;
it is enough to be a cipher,
so easily erased
and forgot.
