Haiku

Anger sometimes works
strategically, though the
returns diminish

--------

You can put lipstick
on a pit bull, but better
still to neuter it

---------

Two fat women on
the train, eating Doritos
desultorily

--------

Many poems hide
scant meaning in florid prose
this one has spoken

--------

Sea Lions barking
en masse, this sound will always
be funny to me

---------

The songs of birds seem
senseless to me, though prettier
than most human speech
