Showing his small teeth
My nephew tells me to put
Salad on my toes

Poofy Galore

A wash and blow dry
will re-fluffify her fur,
will afro-ize it.

Thoughts

I wonder aloud,
can people hear me thinking?
Someone responds, Yes.
A cheerleader once
said he had beautiful feet
and ruined his life.

4.28.2008

Lulu eats my specs,
which makes me very angry.
@^@$%
civil procedure
the bane of my existence
erie can blow me.
finals approaching
maybe a hernia too?
doctor will say "rest."

but no rest for me
unless the doc says "surgery"
and then drugs will help.

I Hadn't Noticed

Pennies in a stream,
Falling leaves, a sycamore,
Moonlight in Vermont.

Friday Night Lights

dusk is approaching
dachshunds wake up from their naps
romance is abound

By S.W.T & H.D.L

emails in the office

compare manuscript
to an aborted fetus?
sure, go right ahead

I don't think it's a match

ZS wants to be
my roommate but really he
just wants to play drums.

He also wouldn't
mind "big ol' titties" and a
gift cert. to Chili's.

ZS, some advice:
next time, don't send out a link
to your myspace page.

re: re: tornado siren

She spins me right 'round,
But, as Odysseus says,
There's no place like home.

re: tornado siren

What?! Is her song not
so beautiful that you would
die to follow her?
Tornado siren:
Yet another good reason
I miss the East Coast.

comments

I have disabled the comments b/c they are too easy to miss. Please leave responses in a regular post, with a title of "re: [insert identifying matter]". Here are all the comment haiku:

Brian said, re: administrators:

The same heavy door
Keeps the administrators
From the other side.

Brian said, re: the sun is here now:

Sunlight casts shadows,
Spring blooms drink from icy pools;
Seek balance, diapers.

Brian said, re: That rainy dark place:

Not just Omaha,
Today Minneapolis
Is gray and awful.

Anonymous said, re: Greg in my office:

You don't really "win."
It is a big marketing
scam. But still, enjoy!

Dave said, re: daily I think yes,:

the end of the ramp
park on the top of the place

dinner with mom's bro
and sis after proposing
dissertation, whhhew!

re: Croquet

Running through spring grass
I hastily collect them:
Four lost tennis balls

COMPUCESSORY

People hand it off,
the can of cold, compressed air,
almost like a joint.

Except it breathes out,
not in; you can hear it sssssssssssssssss,
air dusting keyboards.

4.22.2008

Croquet

Last of the wine sack,
Leaks red onto faces, courts...
Lost in the new grass.
Administrators
are kept on the other side
of a heavy door.

4.21.2008

capers, prunes, olives, chicken
with wild rice and kale

4.20.2008

Well, for heavens sake:
I will be thirty years old
in just ten short days.
goo oo ooooo ooo oo

Yesterday I was
compared to a pineapple,
contrasted with steak.

Sunday Morning

Coffee, oranges:
Hardly locusts and honey,
Not so bad either.

4.19.2008

The sun is here now
but Lulu's gut still rebels.
Things don't coincide.
An estimator,
If not inadmissible,
Is admissible.

4.18.2008

Minneapolis:
Yes, today it is raining.
At least it's not snow!
cell phone: through the wash.
drowning in soapy maelstrom,
telephonic death.
That rainy dark place,
You know, "where the sun don't shine"?
It is Omaha.
Who I will vote for
This upcoming November
In haiku format:

Barack Obama,
Maybe Hillary Clinton,
But not John McCain.
just back from sailing
prepared strange feast for dinner
next: shower and bed

4.17.2008

Reading the paper
Reminds me of my father
Reading the paper.

II

Still sunny but cold
will summer ever arrive?
Ben and Jerry's time!
Suing the bad guys
While wearing my old blue jeans
Makes me full of joy
Greg in my office
won a business card contest:
free burritos all!

4.16.2008

Today I

Shoot guns inside range
click snow photos with holga
no more play time, work
the meeting was long,
interminable. foggy,
return to my desk
