500 haikus

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

Inexplicable sadness

In wordless despair
M dissolves in tears clutching
me like a life vest.

Laptop

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

Ironing as a metaphor

Smoothing over the
wrinkles in life takes more cold
cash than hot metal.

April Fool’s Day

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

Why I need to sleep

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

Insomnia bordering on insanity

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

What a bargain

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

Sexist comment from an unlikely source

haiku from Trisha who was there

Gay flight attendant
Shares gender stereotype
Astounds passengers

Salt Lick barbecue

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