Rosalie Robison
Urban Island
Reeds sway to jazz
hot sirocco-like background
as song riffs compete
Lone lighthouse for sale
no one wants
Dragonflies teem darting
hairpin turns
Diamond pattern on picnic
table top makes fishnet sun
pattern on woman's leg
Selfie stick searches
the perfect group photo
Urban Island deserted
in afternoon heat
And he doesn't dance
