water dripping drops
like the ticking of the clock.
life pouring away.
Haikus
streaks of hope
splintered light of day.
as cackling birds fly astray.
looking for new hope.
cigar tubes
tubes across the sky.
hairless apes learning to fly.
want a better way.
all told
a shattering crash.
into fate’s fickle fingers.
to question it all.
mice of men
the world is too large
for mice and men together.
earth prefers the mice.
crabby people
the sandy beaches
are full of creeping pale crabs.
of bipedal form.
