black eyeliner smeared
across my arm with tears when
you didn't call me.


(i know, how emo am I?)

Oh, I almost forgot.
I scribbled down a pair of haikus yesterday. 
Wait for it... wait for it... ready?
No? Too bad.


Once I made big bucks
in Washington DC but
now I'm poor and fucked.

Once I had it good;
401k and paid leave.
Damn the recession. 

January 29, 2008


plucked a single hair;
a flower loses petals
bloom left incomplete

a violation;
my hair snipped clipped with scissors
and scattered to wind

please keep off the grass;
the soil under your feet
is my sacred ground

thought i was an innocent (7)
helpless little bird. (5)
found inside, a vicious beast. (7)
