So I found a bunch of free-verse haiku in an old journal of mine. So here it is! Most of it is A-Softer-World-y, and some of it is awful.
We drink to stay young
Like vampires except with
gin instead of blood
The recipe didn't call for my dignity
But I put it in anyway
For a leavening agent.
They are everywhere
Cameras in the shower, bugs on the phone
Spiders in the dishsoap.
I hate this school
Drywall and halogen and
35° angles.
Every night
I still pour two vodkas
Clink clank hiss
I stare through the window
The moon is the moon is the moon
Not my heart
When I hear her name
I stare into my coffee
Two creams, one sugar
Styrofoam cups,
Non-dairy creamer,
Sweet-n-Low
More on Friday.
