More haiku

pink jacket, matching
purse, blue uniform hat and
shirt. not so different?

working class hero
an american princess
match made in heaven

the worst thing I do
when I am riding the bus
is make eye contact

were I president
I would give everybody
good dental plans

I know I’m balding
but at least it’s not as bad
as that guy right there

the adjacent men
are speaking only spanish
I should have studied

I wish I was in
the blue water taco grill
eating a taco

come on trent reznor
can you still be so angry?
it’s been 15 years.

I think that restaurant
has replaced a laid back bar
that I really liked

it is strange and sad
that so many people want
to go to bellevue

is it shame or pride
on the ipod user’s face
at her white wires?

the most important
meal of the day is breakfast
I wish I ate one

george w bush
is such a bad president
I hope he won’t win

oh, soliel moon frye
tv’s own punky brewster
I still have a crush

axe deodorant
is more of a novelty
than a real product

the east-side bound bus
full of drowsy passengers
staring as I write

I am an old man
in clothing and attitude
but with no stories

one thing I realize,
I write terrible poems.
I’m an essayist.
