Haiku Series No. 03 (from Degrees Kelvin, Beer, and the Price of Oil Paint)

The re-birth of what

seemed so close to lifelessness

walks the earth once more.

—

Rittenhouse busking

earns us enough money for

3 AM pancakes.

—

Lazy, with straw in

our mouths, that gave us poison

ivy as children.

—

A certain freedom

bequeathed upon the oh so

unworthy kinder.

—

Sip English breakfast

tea and watch the foliage

fall fall fall fall fall.

—

The leaves turn from green

to red and still, I cannot

tell the difference.

—

The embers from the

chimney fly up and up as

snow falls down and down.

—

There lacks difference

between the cigarette smoke

and breath exhausted.
