Pattern Recognition.

There's a house in my neighborhood that kind of makes me giggle a bit every time I pass by

as it reminds me of this

Charles Demuth's I Saw the Figure Five in Gold.

which was inspired by this:

The Great Figure

Among the rain
and lights
I saw the figure 5
in gold
on a red
firetruck
moving
tense
unheeded
to gong clangs
siren howls
and wheels rumbling
through the dark city.

-Williams Carlos Williams

Just one of those silly things, I guess, but it pleases me and I'm thankful to the owners for their choice of house number.

Breakfast.

(this morning

i had a banana,
two apples,
and a spoonful of
damson plum jam;

was a good start for a hot day.)

This Is Just To Say

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold

- William Carlos Williams
