June morning--- a line of ants at the subway entrance
tempslibres
the recession--- more nude entertainment bars open
tempslibres
a June downpour takes a break--- I go out to buy more water

morning fog--- too much steamed milk in my espresso

New York--- opposite a church a mosque both have their doors open
tempslibres
morning fog--- she wears sunglasses in the subway
tempslibres
Hudson River cool breeze--- so many men go topless

a sign on the door--- our sun tanning machines are solar
