Getting Air
by Dan Gutman

intrigued by movement
adrenaline concerto
bodies crouch, tense … leap!

ace of spades: vanish
magicians work miracles
leave ‘em wanting more

Korean, Hebrew,
Japanese, French, Arabic,
Swedish, Italian …

go to Australia?
mum and stepdad are moving
best friend rejection

bare-knuckle boxers
foes, treasure, rioters
treason, ignorance

a message of hope
what is your carbon footprint?
reverse this problem

loser summer job
twist on Midsummer Night’s Dream
will Ed get dream girl?

alleys, dark tunnels
vampires, werewolves stalk the night
London’s no picnic

move beyond the world
of siblings, single mother
a gust shakes the house

can’t you kids invent
something other than trouble?
creative mischief

what if you woke up
inside your own worst nightmare
and couldn’t get out?

humans are long gone
chipmunk joins other species
to thwart gangs, warlords

smuggled in cheese puffs
father trapped in hospital
gangster wants revenge

photo collages
revivals, jazz, quilting bees
richness of Harlem
