haiku on the fly--
somewhat like swimming naked.
i recommend it.

TODAY: i learned that spending an hour writing haiku about everything that popped into my head was a good way to partially alleviate the wretchedness of an awful day.

there's no pretending.
can't "snap out" of lung cancer.
grandmother will die.

--

english paper? boo!
it does not regurgitate.
english student fails.

--

i will skip that class
all quarter, if i want to.
my money to waste.

--

textbooks cost too much.
i should just stop buying them.
take that, foul bookstore!

--

bad citizenship:
i remember no blue ribbon.
guess it was assumed.

--

eventually... i started feeling better.

egg nog latt�s rule.
i could drink twelve of them now,
but the shakes would kill.

--

my feet are so big.
secondhand shoes never fit.
a lot of tears fall.

--

really gotta pee.
no haiku for a moment;
urine's not for poems.
