I draft spreadsheets, each
detail a talismanic
ward of protection.

Wild child at 86
She shares her story
of youthful risks. Wants my thoughts.
Jesus, you’re still nuts.
Takeout
Fork scrapes styrofoam,
a sound that grates my nerves. I’d
rather cook myself.
Over the holidays
Ate bad stuff. Gained weight.
Hate myself. Still, I think, There’s
always tomorrow…
Poor business decision
I quit my job to
work on my haiku blog. Chance
of millions, slim / none.
Sugar
One bite then the mad-
ness begins. Binge-stuffing my
face. Swallowing whole.
Dishwasher repair guy
Olive pits. Glass shards.
Bent straw. He warns, It’s not a
garbage disposal…
New year’s resolution
Why bother vowing
change when you’re satisfied with
your lazy-ass self?
Snow blind
Spiraling flakes, like
small hands opening wide, feel
their way down to earth.
Loser
You still up? Dude, it’s
not like the internet won’t
be there tomorrow.
