David’s hope / Ps 40 & 28 haiku

16Aug09

A new song in my
Mouth, a praise-hymn to our God.
Many will trust him.
Blessed is the man
Who makes the Lord his trust, who
Avoids pride, false gods.
The Lord is my strength
And my shield; my heart trusts in
Him, and I am helped.

The desert of a
Lonely mind: the Word springs from
Rocks to quench my thirst.

What is man that you
Stoop to him, the son of man
That you care for him?

Chelsea haiku

“Please keep off the grass!”
Dearth of children and laughter.
Inviting canvas.

Starry L.A. night.
Eyes on the golden idol…
but: Jackman dances.

The “Silk Stocking District”

There are photos taken from across the street where I grew up, on the roof of the old 17 East 96th Street, and from my roof at 50 East, of two different U.S. presidents, FDR and Reagan, driving west in their motorcades. On Park Avenue one block away, when W was in town, they'd have to seal all the mailboxes shut so that no one would place an IED in one and blow him up. Clinton used to raise money down the street toward the park, in a townhouse around the corner from a co-op on 97th and Fifth where Sidney Poitier got rejected by the mostly white co-op board because he was black. Clinton's Secret Service men would buy slices of pizza in the Greek-run restaurant below my apartment. They had to eat like everyone else.
