Haiku
Tooth taped to a note
re-negotiating the fee
PS are you real?
*
The new knives and forks
large and heavy in our hands
soon we won’t notice.
*
Warm spot on the couch
the dog’s uncharacteristic reserve
will give him away.
*
Summer evening
a perfume two decades old
has found me again.
*
Early evening
neon twenty-four hour sign
begins to flicker.
*
My son concentrates
face illuminated by
Nintendo DS.
