new jersey | the haiku diaries

Rice crackles at the
bottom of the stone bowl–how
I love bibimbap.

Toppled trees show off
their roots alongside the trail;
Sandy, you jackass

Its body frozen
in the moment of death–a
deer on the roadside.

ODP tourney
in New Jersey this weekend –
too much driving. Wah!

The window view used
to own me — now I’ve fallen
for the railroad tracks.

Sweet bird outside my
window–not sure what you are
but I like your song

Swapped Bollywood tunes
for backyard bird squabbles. Will
take some adjusting.

When driving, I’m all
for the merge–unless you look
like a giant schmuck.

Water, shells, and sand
washed over my back as I
dove under the wave.
