a thousand words


I've been a lazy writer.

Lazy.

While this piece of internet real estate has been vacant, over here it's hopping. Fall makes it easy to take pretty pictures and being lazy (as previously established,) I can't pass that up.

However, if I have any hope of selling this blog to Google for 1.65 billion dollars I really need to update it weekly. So things are a'brewin. Perk-a-lating. French pressing.

I'll post something new this weekend. Pinky swear.

I lied. Why do I lie?

Here's a tip: rename your blog Haiku-Tube and I'll bet Google ups their offer.

A broken pinky swear?
Must be a good reason.

stuck and busy being
a cold red to a hot blue
everything i am to you
who would have believed it

in the lamplit midnight, with the
toilet overflowing, when the
kitten pounced with claws on me
and woke me froom my sleep,

you were tearing at my hands,
bruising my left arm while
i was trying to do right by you,
protecting you from harm

Protect, and Prohibit:
Mice-cook-rice with
Bice-device.
Sugar and spice and
Everything nice
Until you steal my blankets:

hysterics of that animal house where
nothing is the same.
sunken wicks of candles
are all that may remain

until the dogs come running to a
driveway with its parking cars,
returned from somewhere, anywhere:
masters back from Mars.

they say:
seeing is believing
and what you see is what you get,
in a million good perspectives
we haven't looked at yet

they say
go to bed, and make a wish,
say goodnight with a little kiss:
we say, there must be more than this
but we are just the chrysalis.

Dude, you've been gone for so long that anonymous people are leaving abstract poems in your sted!

We miss your wit; can't those marketing campaigns wait?!

Haiku-girl is gone
We think she is returning
We hope so. Godspeed.

Haiku_girl. Relax. Drink some tea and enjoy instead. Find another byer. :-)

whenever I've had a long layoff from posting it's either been due to a streak of unprecedented euphoria or a paralyzing trauma. I'm hopeful that it's the former and not the latter.
