Special Feature Collaborative Poem--By Miriam Sagan and Michael G. Smith--United States

Haiku From the Realm of Disability

By Miriam Sagan and Michael G. Smith

Manhattan canyons –
mini dress and sneakers
I can run in

one flip-flop, feet in the clouds

maybe I'm still asleep, red monolith

stars silent
a daily nap
peps me up

  1. That's what my hubby called Manhattan ... the canyon ... but how he loved Brooklyn. This poem brings me back to when.

  10. Delightful, you two! Now I'm wondering where the other flip-flop went. There's a story! :)

  12. I can just see Spring in Manhattan in this piece; people out and about in light clothing, happy that winter's finally been put to rest. Excellent read!
