If I had to guess …
the clouds over Manhattan
and the Hudson River
are definitely dating

I see them sending
warm droplet winks
Staring into each other
Secretly holding hands

They seem very happy
Airplane rippled smiles
curling from rise to set
White foam teeth showing

Above my fading head
they twirl, they clump
Dance to an orchestra of
swirling leaves and pinwheels

I would wave to them or
send a bouquet of support
but they don’t know me so
I’ll just watch jealously
