In my life I have seen a huge increase in fear of strangers largely fueled by the sensationalist media. Sure there are serial killers, rapists and child molesters out there but I think then are a lot more rare than the media would have you believe.


An Unfortunate Misunderstanding.


I turned the corner
And it struck me
The way the green and white
Tennis court,
The net,
The layers of
Chain link fence
And the orange construction fence
On the lawn beyond
Made a wonderful abstract design.

I stopped and took a picture


The girls, who were playing tennis.
Thought I was taking a picture of them.
They stopped and stared at me,
Hands on hips
Through their dark glasses
As I drove away.

They must have thought I was
Some sort of creep.
I am an artist.
I suppose they were partly right.
Still there is a lot more to life
Than young girls in short dresses.

You suffered an injustice, the kind remains long after the event. You want to explain yourself, but cannot. Except in this form, perhaps.
