We wouldn’t, again.
It’s possible, but come on.
We wouldn’t. Would we?

Three toilet #haiku

Freezing floor tile,
a warm bidet in the dark,
and you, still asleep.

Put the book down and
get up from the couch to pee
and pour more coffee.

Washing these wet hands,
the hippie soap’s clogged and spurts
all over my shirt.

Three pandemic haiku:

In spring quarantine
Mount Hood stood in cold bare blue—
masked now in hot smog.

We can’t vacation
due to plague. A whole year. I’ve
bought so much dumb stuff.

St. Helens through haze—
our fight last night was pointless—
this smoke-pink sunset.
