Haiku roundup (dream to raindrops).
American dream
scrawled on her business card
"make million dollar"
snake around her neck
hoping to score the cool chicks
attracts kids instead
snarled race day traffic
men in pink tutus
pass us yet again
1938
cherry condition pickup
passes the hybrid
blown out window panes
each square shimmering desire
fractured four by four
an overgrown tree
shyly hiding behind her
the Irish wolfhound
no pay raise at work
we hoard the subsidized snacks
to balance our books
eager teenage boys
step into a cologne cloud
on a Friday night
left at the printer
medical diagnosis
for a colleague's child
idling exhaust clouds
seniors climb aboard the bus
a gambling field trip
she gives me a grin
caught in flannel pajamas
on garbage morning
running figure eights
in the backyard of delight
golden retriever
two year old wonder
every fifteen minutes
cheering for the train
flip flapping his wings
the tiny gosling outruns
the laughing jogger
the economy
measured by a man diving
recyclable cans
sushi restaurant
piped in over the speakers
early Elton John
their behinds jiggling
an owner and two bulldogs
thud down the sidewalk
the shape of a heart
waiting for a place to land
the heron hovers
catching a raindrop
the taste of lost centuries
lingers on her lip
crickets now quiet
the bullfrog resumes his song
with the first raindrops
