1993. Sweden

Sweden

Full of free men

And women

Free to live

Their lives

They economize

As taxes rise

They see

Things differently

Not quite

with Western eyes

Instead,

They socialize

Watching

Smiling

As Americans

Start their

First

Experiment

With universal

Healthcare

Observations

1992. Gods in Love

The gods take

Ballet class

I can

Vouch for that

He 6 foot 3

She 5 foot 9

Both with flaxen

Hair

And brilliant

Blue eyes

Stature and visage

Divine

But they're

Human

Like

The rest of us

And prone

To love

Happily

They have

Each other

They smile

Kind

On the mortals

Below

Life in San Francisco

- after a dance class with dancers from leading companies and Broadway

1991. No Twinkle Tonight

Cloud filled skies

No star to wish

Upon tonight

Try I may

Try I might

All I see

Is man-made

Red and flashing

Lights

Life in San Francisco

- upon driving home on a gloomy night
