Will Brooks - Visual Artist

a hurricane
dashing about with scissors
making hair look fabulous
Baggy Shorts
Baseball Cap
Bicyclist at Red Light
Boring Conversation
charging down the field
he ignores personal space issues
with the goal in sight
checking his fingernails
todd slices through the humid air
with confidence
Coffeehouse Monk
disregarding the line
she skips ahead just because
she thinks she can
Endless ocean
Cloudless sky
Summer's here!
every Tuesday night
after Chinese take-out
B.I.N.G.O.
fresh from school
he begins clearing tea from the table
thinking about his paper due tomorrow
Girl in Paperboy Hat
he slices through the warm summer air
with deliberate movement
to center his mind
It's not as easy as it was
or as difficult as it could be
for the Samurai in Autumn
last season's jacket
meets the last cold front of the season
before being sold at the resale shop
Mother and Infant
Purple Ponytail & Cup of Coffee
Relaxing on the Patio
she sat quietly
reconciling her memories
with the truth
Slowly Across the Street
Sprinkler Dance
the crowd stared in amazement
as the ships doors opened
forever changing the world
the store opens in an hour
she must buy the hottest new game system
to avoid her son's disappointment
to reach halfway
up the ladder
requires double effort
unsure of the journey that lies ahead
she stops to rest
and feels him kick
waiting for the bus
he proudly flashes his
Harwin Street messenger bag
Walking in the Wind
what does the fortune teller see
in the palm of one's hand?
