recent haiku

summer’s end

a train whistle blows

heading straight towards the past

the sun sets

on the old man’s deathbed,

on the nurse’s legs

new york summer

the hotdog vendor

knows my name

homeroom

i wonder what the absent boys

are doing

cartography convention

i help a gentleman

find the men’s room

summer garden

the roses as quiet

as he is
