Late afternoon in the neighborhood known as Little Italy. “Authentic” Italian restaurants line either side of the street. My father lunched at one that stated on the menu it was John Gotti’s favorite restaurant.

High praise, indeed!

“Don’t carry a gun. It’s nice to have them close by, but don’t carry them. You might get arrested.”

Tulip

One flower at a time, please

 however small the face.

Two flowers are one flower

too many, a distraction.

Three flowers in a vase begin

to be a little noisy

Like cocktail conversation,

everybody talking.

A crowd of flowers is a crowd

of flatters (forgive me).

One flower at a time.  I want

to hear what it is saying.
