not longing haiku 70-76

she'll do anything
for kings & nothing for those
who need it the most

i want credit for
all the things i've done that you
pretended were yours

he is so low on
my list of priorities
his cries are not heard

you will suck me dry
you of razor sharp teeth &
the infinite maw

i may be laid back
but i'm not a pushover
give me what i'm due

my patience ran thru
i snapped & i stung you &
it's all a big welt

she is your twin and
you hate her more for it and
want her to be gone

double shutout!

continuing their run of utter domination, the shickablooz won both championship games last night, held both teams of feisty & talented opponents scoreless, made kickball history and earned the coveted bobblehead trophy!

shickablooz aren't like bagels!
bagels have holes
shickablooz aren't like donuts!
donuts have holes
shickablooz ARE like waffles
no f'n holes!
say what
no f'n holes!
can't hear you
NO F'N HOLES!

shickablooz championship tournament

The undefeated Shickablooz (8-0) play for the trophy tonight - our first game is 6:30, once we win that, we'll play the finals at 8:30.

(sign stuck in ground next to my bench in front of lowell davies festival theatre balboa park san diego)

two owners of two boxer dogs, dogs pull leashes
owners extend hands to dogs
not each other

magician had a crowd of 5 then a
crowd of 40 a few minutes later
doing tricks with big silver hoop rings
the children squeal & rock back on their
thick rubber soled tennis shoes

old old old people one with a walker
with two legs of the walker topped
with tennis balls to ease the skid
they must've been together
70 years by now what's left to say
sunday at the zoo go home take your
pills sleep dream of antelope & owls

older people still get dressed up
still wear "nice clothes" out in public
to museums & theaters
it must pain them to see the rest of us
maybe it makes them feel prouder

families everywhere huge bald headed
babies in strollers on laps on the grass
passed from arms to arms
if you catch their eye they see to
the bottom of you & look away

eighty degrees winter in san diego
please leave me be swingin grandpa with
kid in stroller i'm not interested in
conversation i'm just waiting for
a show to start
