If chocolate were gum

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

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
