Grace Kelly poster

over Sharon’s graying hair

pondering haikus

—

silly old showers

looking for a wedding ring

in winter’s last snow

—

Mister Wobbly Eyes

will not catch the last bus home

before Grace Kelly

—

The champagne Friday

mountain disappears from nose

smelling forgetting

—

A good four pound shave

Two pound beers and five cent words

Plus free poundless sleep

—

Sunday papers, late

burgers, traitor amongst us

glasses upside down

—

Deleting letters

Haikus are poetry’s tweets

shorter than the thought
