You don’t notice the
absence of sound until you
strain to hear something.

…create. Impatient
that I won’t pay attention
when I’m writing stuff.

Directed at me
all day it follows me from
room to room in heat.

Our longer springtime
walks knock him out. There he lies
fat happy fur child.

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

My weirdness is as
apparent in my kids as
streaks in a fake tan.

Like cows with their cud
we would chew constantly, and
then we’d all swallow.

One piece would last for
hours and have few calories.
(I’m working on it.)

From a Revealing
start to this auspicious point -
my life in short form.

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

Shopped a membership
warehouse store today. Got six
years’ worth of ketchup.

We all complain there’s
no place to plug in. One by
one, our laptops die.

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

Incrementally
I clean unearthing a clear
space on the table.

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.

Bergamot infused
leaves unfurl comfort. Problems
dissipate like steam.

From an estate sale -
pendulum clock. Westminster
chimes now count my days.

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

“Read my poem? Please?”
In real life I’d get blank stares.
Here, you’re back for more.

Just over five months
This one four hundred fifty
Art or wasted time?

A haiku a day?
Not quite. Some days the tap runs,
some days it’s bone dry.

Like a lover who
wanders I return here to
check in now and them

They walk the carpet.
We eat takeout Chinese and
scream for our favorites.
