So it had begun

HAIKU

Paper so lovely/
Open a greeting you will/
Find a peaceful heart.

A dog here and there/
And their trainers walking with/
Ugly brown shoes on.

She is most extremely fat/
With pretty green eyes

EYES

My eyes hurt today/
Like little daggers poking/
Excruciating.

We have moths at home/
And Polly dances with them/
Hairballs and mothballs

My mother was there/
Stirring her hot carrot soup/
Boiling up bubbles

Paintings and photos and films/
And ugly screen prints.

Weekender
2/29-3/1

Thirty blocks downtown/
A lot for a girl like me/
Tired by the end.

I have learned quickly/
That it is essential to/
Cherish my body.

I walked this weekend/
But not to Coney Island/
Like someone I know.

BEDROOM
3/2

The cleaning woman/
Skipped the bedroom completely/
I thought this was odd


POLITICS
3/3

Karen visited/
We spoke about politics/
Watching the rain fall

WED.
3/5

She comes every week/
Parading around my house/
As if she lives here

DOGS
3/6

Doctors love models/
And charts pointing like children/
Drooling like infants
