A chill up my rear
A dry seat indoors beside
A rainy window

Howling winds we share
Earth lungs on a shaky breath
How many more are there
Routine
Make me a sandwich
And sing me to sleep
I’m a little hungry
And a whole lot of tired
Blank is a bitch
And I can’t count sheep
Which makes me angry
And a little bit wired
So I flip the switch
And I’m out in the street
Which makes no sense to me
‘Cuz I’m still very tired
My side’s developed a stitch
From pacing and moving my feet
And I want to flee
But that’s not how I’m wired
So I sit in a ditch
All crumpled in a heap
And head home around three
Before I’m any more mired
I’ll make my own sandwich
I’ll sing myself to sleep
‘Cuz I’m a little hungry
And a whole lot of tired

A bead of sweat runs
Down a shaft of ice and drips
Far below its home

“Tock, tock” repeating
What creature tocks in my wall
On this chilly night
Do You Believe?
“Do you believe?”
She said to he
Atop that round green spot
Under a black expanse
A trillion twinkling eyes
Looking down on the couple
“In what?”
He said to she
A chasm of silence
Yawned open between the two
As moments passed into minutes
It had been answer enough.

A frigid wind howls
‘Round the smelly plastic bag
I take out the trash
Cookies
Cookies crumble
Towers tumble
Milk spills
Blood stills
Stay humble
Everyday
Everyday everyday everyday
Everyday everyday everyday
Everyday everyday everyday
I’ve read
And I’ve been told
I should write
Everyday everyday everyday
Haiku Rebel
Five, seven, five
Syllables they say belong in a haiku
But whatever
