Overworked

Busy is when you
sit down to watch a movie
and you fall asleep.

Procrastination

I start out strong with
good intentions. Sit at the
computer. Day’s shot.

Hillary Clinton

Don’t you know no girls
allowed? Threaten the big boys,
they call you a bitch.

The abyss, glimpsed

An email from a
stranger descending into
madness unnerved me.

Second life

In another world
I am prettier, skinny,
naturally blonde.

Unspoken

Secrets like splinters
lodged down deep tear you apart
from the inside out.

To do list

I jot on random
scraps, then lose them. No wonder
I don’t get things done.

Tasteless

Reading haikus is
like eating chestnuts. You stop
after a bad one.

Moral chicken

They saw a film on
how poultry is killed. They cluck
as I eat hot wings.

Bad reaction

All day my eyes itched
as if they were allergic
to viewing my life.
