Back pain
Hunched and hobbling I
move as if years older, a
taste of what’s to come.
Dining in Austin
I eat meat because
it’s Texas. Tender steak like
beef cotton candy.
Offsite meeting of the computer geeks
We all complain there’s
no place to plug in. One by
one, our laptops die.
Powerpoint
When you’re in a long
meeting, now you have two things
to look at while bored.
Morning sun
Slanting through speckled
panes, turning cobwebs into
faerie gossamer.
Visiting colleges
Muddy quads, walls bare
of ivy still inspire awe.
Can we get in?
Ithaca, NY
Ph.D.s waitress
here, M.A.s babysit, ’cause
no one wants to leave.
Driving home at sunset
Hills like cut paper
black against tissue blue skies.
Through poked holes, stars shine.
Why I’ve been absent
Haiku, like bonsai,
needs care and pruning. A mind
unfocused kills both.
