“haiku on my present, past, and future state of creativity”
today i write haikus
yesterday short poems
tomorrow nothing
“hangover haiku”
seat taken for one
eggs, toast, hash browns, and pepsi
i am all right now
“haiku for kent and d.a. and the so-called cleveland school”
cleveland poetry
against academia—
forever outside
“haiku for Dylan and Kaydence”
at seven and four—
you both are too sarcastic
for your own damn good
“haiku for victor clevenger”
from one madhouse to
another— we write haikus
to get through the day
“call it as it is”
what the fuck was that—
conversation flat lined but
that’s not saying much
