Haiku #103 - Crazy Cat Lady (2)

cat sulks in corner
he now knows what's coming when
i pack my suitcase


Leaving for Chicago in the morning!  Will be there with In the Heights for a week, and perhaps coming soon to a town near you!

Haiku #102 - Secret Passageway

over the rooftop
up and down two flights of stairs
one last time to Nat's


Nat's moving to the West side this month, so we had a neighbor-party one last time.  I will miss our shortcut going across the roof to each other's apartments, but I look forward to grilling in her & her boyfriend's new garden!

Haiku #101 - Cabin Fever

i must go outside
before i go mad and die 
of cabin fever

Haiku #100 - Mosaic

syllables add up
like pieces of a puzzle
someday a picture



This is my 100th haiku!  1700 syllables so far, not counting all the haiku I haven't posted, or that my friends have written (we now sometimes communicate in haiku)!

Haiku #99 - Starbucks

guess I'll stand and wait
for a seat while the old men
finish their chess game

Haiku #98 - Snooze Button

it's a mixed blessing
to have camaraderie
with the snooze button

Haiku #97 - Bathroom Dispatcher

what did this guy do

to deserve the sentence of

bathroom dispatcher?

Mom, Dad and I went downtown again, hoping to wander Trinity's churchyard before they closed at 3 (according to their website), but it turns out they closed at 2 today (according to the placard on their padlocked gates at about 2:30 this afternoon).  So we did what any good American family would do, and went to Century 21 to help the economy and use the bathroom.  The line for the loo was about a mile long, but it moved quickly, thanks in part to the young gentleman standing at the entrance to the ladies' and gents' directing traffic and hating his life.
