Walt Whitman says:
I contain multitudes
Well.
How should HE know what I contain?
I mean,
I don't.
How presumptuous is
he, to sing MY song to me? Whatever
Walt, you're pushing
daisies now so
whatever

Haiku

I’ll make a haiku
It will not say what I want
At least I’m speaking

Horseradish speaks

Wipe me clean of bitterness:
left over is a bland weak limp
thing who cannot stand
out in a meal, gets
eaten for lunch
no consequences for the
stomach that restrains me

I should tell you

that you aren't The One (but
you knew that already, didn't
you?) Just
didn't think I'd caught
on too

But I see you with the Other one a
perfect duet of
Ones
I should tell you I
know I'm
not

Past perfect

pictures of pictures of pictures are my
past, every year adds another frame another
layer of rose-coloured glass between Now and
Then

Then...now...what? my future is un-
framed, unhinged, unexistant
and so far unbroken

Options

Black keys leave me
wondering the night in
shrinking armour a
leg will do I do
do you?

People watching

I spy with my little eye...
a bigger eye behind.
a nose between the two
some lips sketched in
below, very
red
a chin hangs from the jaw, like
a stubby
stalagmite
