| Short Pants Potentate By Donal Mahoney |
Inferno of a summer day
Mother’s dozing
Tommy, tiny, three,
paring knife in hand
tiptoes out, flops
short-pants potentate
upon the sidewalk sunny,
operates on ants

| Haberdasher’s Thoughts By Donal Mahoney |
The haberdasher has
that season of the year
he rids his racks, his bins
of oddments.
I have no season of the year
like that.
Today, or any day, a derby,
spats or chrome-tipped cane
can shuffle out from stock.
I have no choice.
I have to offer counter space.
