the jock's horse
the 7 horse
clipped the heels
of the horse
in
front of
him
stumbled and
fell
throwing the
jock
over
its
head
and onto the
track
before
some
oncoming
horses
most of
which
avoided
the
jock's
still
form
except for
the 9
horse
who gave
him
one step
in the middle
of his
back
you
could
see
the hoof
dig
in
then the
field
was
past
and the
ambulance was
on its
way
the jock
wore
Kelly green
silks,
black
sleeves.
3 or 4
people were
now
gathered around
the
still
jock.
as the ambulance
moved
in
the man behind
me
said to his
companion
"let's go
get'
a
beer."

Five Points Cat chews catnip chaise, wigs out
The two girls hang out
KD on her 'Close -to-Mom' catnip chaise-lounge
which she chews on. It is catnip-laced
and when she consumes the cardboardy material
she has paroxysms.

OTHER DOWNTOWN SHOTS
Amidst the rain
a downtown peace dove
coming out of mourning
digital camera focuses clearly on the rain drops
part of the downtown syndrome
The sun goes down
Downtown sky change eve following heavy rain
sun sets gloriously
Downtown tree trimmer hums
"While my saw gently plays..."
Holes dug here
Cheap (not)
A tree grows in Brooklyn (Waukesha)

Final note to my soon to be reunionized
classmates from Waukesha High
class of 1954:
A group of men, all in their 70s took it upon themselves
to rebuild a WW II PT boat.
This rebuild feat puts the lie to those who would have septuagenarians put to calm and small use, a-sea.
