Can days be merry
and bright? Jobs – like ornaments -
fragile, out of reach.

She can’t stand her. He’s
her ex, so don’t include them.
Can’t we go alone?

Deciding who to
take like negotiating
Mideast peace treaty.

He sent sensitive
documents to a stranger
thinking it was me.

A romantic name
for a seagull poop splashed walk
among spray and rocks.

Our waitress admits
the town has its share of ghosts.
We sleep with lights on.

No one waters them.
Tiny cells plead, but TV
seems more important.

An adult blankie.
To take one from its owner
will make grown men cry.

not sure what’s so fun
about a day when we’re all
afraid we’ll get punk’d

When I stay up late
my thoughts move oddly like lab
mice stunted by drugs.

Night winds roar like a
giant parent screaming “Go
to sleep!” without words.

Vegans, stay away,
lest your firm resolve melt from
tender smoked brisket.

Hunched and hobbling I
move as if years older, a
taste of what’s to come.

Haiku, like bonsai,
needs care and pruning. A mind
unfocused kills both.

haven’t found me yet
they lurk like dirty water
under dark bridges

Wan, pale, red-eyed, she’s
the poster wife of Wynette’s
song, “Stand By Your Man.”

While I throw pennies
into a coin jar, Bear Stearns
gets a big bailout.

When a righteous man
is caught with his pants down, it’s
likely he’ll get spanked.

I need sleep, but I * need to work but I need sleep * to work can’t think straight.

posted to my Twitter account

Project due and I * like the late adopter I * am, haven’t finished.

Heating system dust -
particles of previous
occupants’ lives, selves.

Left in Manhattan
cab. Friends’ numbers, pix of my
kids in strangers’ hands.

I am the dull one, struck
mute by accomplishment
what I do, nothing.

On a cluttered Queens
balcony he stands, watching
the complex decay.
