Heart is made of glass
Bare feet march on humble shards
Mind is made of stone

Sly, smug bartender
Asking for IDs, he bluffs
Hard liquor his prize

Smoke curls through the air
Flirtation is palpable
Outside McMahon

Wrote her a poem
And said, “Here is your haiku!”
God bless you, she said.

Hey, you, hipster kid.
Put away the flannel, please.
The sun is out now.

Hey asshole—yeah, you.
This elevator is full.
Walk to the third floor.

It is raining hard
Super soaked dripping wetness
And not the good kind

Ouch, I stubbed my toe.
Pass me the Neosporin.
Wait, this is toothpaste.

Finals week is near.
What was on that test again?
I am close to tears.

He is love, only
A lonely gardener of
The sewers, my rat

Verdant fields placid
Bubblegum stuck to my shoe
Lakes of pious blue

All haiku are trite,
Too short. What could be said in
Seventeen syllab—

White snow is falling.
The city puts on a mask.
Wet snow is falling.

Just across the street
I’d like to meet this “Alan”
Hangover bagels

Get Snooki a date
Dropped her paychecks on bump-its
Just looking for love
