Jackson Heights | the haiku diaries

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

Today’s alarm clock:
man yelling through a bullhorn
massive beeping truck

Not sure how early
the mowing (or whatever)
started — it killed sleep.

Air conditioner
shelters a mourning dove as
it calls out to friends

First, tacos. Then meat
on a stick. The end? Thai food.
A day out in Queens.

Roof across the way
acts as a stage for a bird
chorus. All showoffs.

Radiator sends
heat and hissing my way though
it’s warmish outside.

Siren screams off in
the distance. A soundtrack for
murky gray weather.

Last week a bird cooed
under my a.c. Then it
moved out. I miss it.

New neighbors move in
an endless stream of boxes.
Setting up their life.
