S will travel with
me, security-blanket
friend I’m blessed to have.
National TV
talk show called me to be a
guest. What will I wear?
I jot on random
scraps, then lose them. No wonder
I don’t get things done.
Reading haikus is
like eating chestnuts. You stop
after a bad one.
Why does burrowing
under thick down comforters
bring such sheer delight?
Decided last night –
Caribbean for Christmas.
Will work for travel.
I love the too big
coffee table that takes up
most of this small room.
I scratch itchy skin,
thinking of lepers losing
pieces of themselves.
Idea of early
to bed rare as a rainbow
and just as fleeting.
They saw a film on
how poultry is killed. They cluck
as I eat hot wings.
