Three Spring Haiku 2019


THREE SPRING HAIKU 2019


FOR LAWRENCE FERLINGHETTI'S
ONE HUNDREDTH BIRTHDAY

Rexroth, Ginsberg, Ferlinghetti
Without these
Frisco's just spaghetti.


FROM EX-WIFES'S OLD DAYBOOK

Fresh morning coffee
Birds singing in the trees
Taste of sperm on my lips.


FOR HIS SKILLED MASSEUSE

Nick's whole life has been
One long out-of-body experience.
Now this.

I have two ex-wives, Jack.

Your wife who died, who I think I met in the 1970s? You were divorced from her? Or did you marry again twice after she passed away? Lawrence lives about five blocks away from me. Come to think of it I think there is an event at City Lights tonite, but it's raining hard, it's cold and no longer venture out into the chilly forest of the night for fear of the Tyger!
