earbuds

breath is the lyric
the melody is the wind
heart does not skip beat

3/13/2009 - perhaps I have stepped in a pile of haiku?
show off

Cra zy man i ac
Run ning in the god dam rain
Bet ter late than ne

4/3/2009
Make it look good

the wheel of fate, if
you want to think of it that
way, is my deadline

4/12/2009
Got used to that too

dog runs up hill, stops
brings out a tiny heartache
again runs up hill

4/13/2009
Anthropomorphosed

anthropomorphize
better to stand under it
as if she is me

4/14/2009
all the little hills
become little heartbreak hills
slow down near the top

4/15/2009
solicitude

probably her way
to show love is to make it
me, more refraining

French nouns have gender
English people have gender
Farsi only "it"

4/16/2009
she likes to worry
that is what she likes to do
I not, so, balance

can't not break rule

to bring out that in-
tensility of purpose
to nonexpression

4/17/2009

always been like this
can't keep my hands off of her
go ahead, ask her

cheat the system #2

I'm a pretty in-
sensitive guy and I don't
care about all that much

all this funny fun
only a desperate mask
pleasure floats on pain

pain under pleasure
subject needs further study
what is my motive?

not allowed to try
because that would be cheating
want to or not, same

when we all are dead
ripples of our intentions
propagate outward

like masturbation
caress brain, relax, excite
haiku spurts or drips

5/26/2009

everywhere I
look all I see is me or
something that I thought

the trick is to get
comfortable with being
uncomfortable

5/31/2009
other considerations of haiku (rule not broken)

minimum of words
evoke stillness, then distance
or vice versa

6/4/2009
meaning

you want it to go in
not like a drop of water
like thread in needle

6/6/2009

can't give an answer
before question is asked
look, lichen on rock

6/7/2009
cute

they're dissatisfied
their suspicion: distraction
there: togetherness

6/16/2009

Dylan, true badeur
prophet of love receding
unavailable

the world is tiny
and it is full of people
enjoy rest of life

6/24/2009
landscaping

decision is not
needed, more contemplation
seems indicated

6/29/2009

the shape of absence
blowing away in the breeze
echoing structure

7/2/2009

to relentlessly
appreciate the normal
want want want please please

but do you really
like it they both wondered
want want take give want

7/3/2009

we are learning how
to practice our private vices
in view, with critique

breathing exercises

about twenty years
no, more like maybe thirty
to notice results

the store is closed
everything is put away
nothing to show you

7/12/2009
put comma anywhere in last line

it all seems forced
might as well give up trying
there it is all done

7/14/2009
under the circumstances

it is probably
a good idea for females
always to be armed

8/1/2009

I saw how she died
choosing her way and her place
her great gift to me

8/3/2009
simple gifts

animals don't stop
trying to live until they
are set to die, then they wait

(I, um, disavow the assertions made in above 2 haikus, the whole theme of life and death needs, uh, more research)

after long delay
quality of life issues
have been put in play

8/17/2009

personality
not yet effaced pure sense
not yet attained

8/18/2009

after all that time
perhaps I figured out:
nothing personal

1/6/2010
what should have been done
or not done, that event
when the chance was there
