Morning, Silent footfalls
on Russell St
Tree brushes my head,
I bow quietly.
The chattering of Monkey
obscures the sound
of wind
through the Zendo.
Pretty thin girl
Jeans, black sleeveless top,
Shaved arm pit, pale skin
Bag slung over her shoulder
Newly washed hair
Still slightly wet
Holding on to the subway pole.
A Bench
A plain wooden bench
Empty a moment ago
Now with one
Solitary person.

This is a photo from my daughter's photography show in New York. Beth started this project 5 years ago in art school. Her senior project was on the motels around Los Angeles. After graduating, she drove across the US from Los Angeles to New York photographing motels.
