encouraged by a kindred spirit
i took photographs
of a dead insect

circling lonely
abandoned and unwanted
and by now unedible

i don't learn from mistakes
not even when i wrote
a haiku about them

playing billiard
shooting balls
like bullets from a gun

you shouldn't go shopping
when you're hungry
except when you're in a bad mood

a high fence:
not a barrier,
but a challenge.

what looks like spring
through a window
is bitter cold outside

judging by people's looks
sitting on a fence
is the strangest thing to do

stumps covereed in cloth
lining the field
like ghosts of soldiers

it isn't april yet
and it's not 35 degrees
but otherwise she was right
