automated sprinklers
my husband fires the new
riding lawn mower

<><><><><><><><>

record heat
the empty water bottles
sweat

<><><><><><><><>

a quick swim —
wet spots on the car's seats
provoke another lecture

<><><><><><><><>

sand dollars —
in its name a dollar; at the gift shoppe, thirty;
on the beach, free

<><><><><><><><>

birthday luncheon
order two desserts
and eat both

<><><><><><><><>

watching her
watching kids play from under
the roses
