Haiku/Gesundheit (Volume XXXV)

on developing ocd after a near-tragic accident

check the bathroom door
and all floors for stray hair bands
twice before leaving
elvis lives in my building

big tinted glasses
long black sideburns and suede shoes
surpisingly thin
on being redirected to one of those sites

ambiguous words
can confuse those search engines
type carefully please
i swear i'm losing depth perception

vision needs distance
not four by four pink fabric
my days grow blurry

    had words in my head -
    an earth changing poem. instead
    spend days losing it.

    the I in I is
    a terrible dog, biting
    flowers before bloom.

    and keep soaking roots
    stems leaves all that's pretty in
    booze made of berries.

    hope everything I've
    heard is wrong - preserved in gin.
    mammal with soft bones

    like everything else,
    hating itself (reasons) and
    a gut full of pills.

  2. Now I'm ashamed. You should be writing and posting these things, man. Those were darn good -- the first two especially.
