they blind in red green blue as
they save the planet

Abandoned haiku blog
My door open, but
the rooms are empty, thoughts like
forgotten relics.
Away too long
Stories always tell
of the one who wanders, then
returns home…like me.
Unemployed Christmas
Can days be merry
and bright? Jobs – like ornaments –
fragile, out of reach.

“Let’s go to the beach!”
One kid, online, shrugs as the
other keeps texting.
“In a typical week, only 6 percent of children ages nine to thirteen play outside on their own.”
from The Option of Urbanism: Investing in a New American Dream by Christopher B. Leinberger

And so summer goes
like fishing line cast into
swift moving waters
Job search
Panera’s didn’t
call, nor Applebee’s. Rejec-
tion’s hard at sixteen.
Senior Ball
Formally over
twelve years of learning to look
good on this one night.
Study hall
The play was about
them. His unrequited love
her indifference.
Hard Rock Cafe, Niagara Falls
All around it, the
town is dead. Pity the poor
taken investors.
