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.
