the craziness of their street names
is more than matched
by their names for food

even though i have the key
it feel like
picking the lock

i wasted 30 minutes
and a good haiku
for looking at overpriced stuff

should getting hurt
be less frightening
than getting wet?

urban landscape
warm and attractive
reminder of a life thought lost

modern technology
is foolproof enough
for amateur fools

silence
ceased to exist
a long time ago

even getting an answer
doesn't mean
someone was listening

i'm talking
just to move my mouth
nobody is listening

people can't even
get on the train
without help anymore?
