Blue on Blue - and Blown

Amid the melting snow, the statues of nubile girls and boys 

on a fountain danced in the bright sun. 

The centerpiece of the fountain, a young woman

led the group with her cymbals, her green

figure set off perfectly against the blue sky.

Just over a day later, rain storms swept into the area,

making the bare trees dance in the night
 as the rain beat against the windows, 
adding their own rhythms to greet 
the approaching spring.

Leg-acy

This statue of renowned and revered basketball coach 

John Wooden is located at the intersection of Georgia and 

South Meridian Streets in downtown Indy.

While I understand the respect and admiration

people felt for the man, I cannot get past the

five pair of disembodied legs surrounding

the coach's figure.

Lost His Keys

There he stands, day after day, year in year out; 

barefoot in freezing weather, overdressed for blazing summer heat.

Continually patting down his pockets,

looking for the car keys which, inevitably, will be

in the last place he chances to look.
