Haiku, variousteeth
in my Cuisinart.
scared to ask whymy stove's electric burners.
crossing them
one brave anthalf-eaten mangos
drying on the cutting board—
how long since you left?between window
and screen
ladybug graveyardramen and spinach
at the bottom of my pot;
seaweed at low tidesnail on the train track,
hail on my windshield;
my hamster safe at homenight on State Street, still,
a small lost bunny and I
eye each other"A Beautiful Mind"
is a terrible waste—
but such beautiful
shots of Princetonripe blackberries poke
through my study window.
wish Basho were here
