    RETURN TO BROOKLYN (and the name is Karin) HAIKU


    SUMMER IN BROOKLYN
    NEW AND IMPROVED SINCE MY YOUTH
    BETTER, NOW WITH BLONDES!

    Comments

    Underneath the swirl,

    the next generation grows;

    Into their own shoes.


     next generation

    Y'got *25 yr old blondes in your part of Brooklyn too?

    *That fourth decade is a heavy lift...


    I would say too much,

    revealing what you most crave.

    Welcome back, my friend.


    Welcome back

    Back, indeed....I find myself adjacent to the venue where my work ethic reached its lifetime pinnacle...At the Clinton-Washington C train stop, when I was like 9 or 10, I would set up with my little shoe shine foot stand and shine for dimes.

    Ambition-wise, it's been all downhill since then...
