Haiku - 1998
Don't believe Larry
The Man is getting smaller
See for yourself
Glad I used sunscreen
SPF 90 worked well
Heck, my lips are chapped
Where are my car keys?
If I had pockets I'd know
That's the naked truth
Hey, your hair's on fire
Is that a performance piece
Or should I get help?
At the port-o-sans
Ponder the meaning of life
The line moves slowly
There are Nebulons
Probing me for useful facts
But I know nothing
How come they didn't
Have the Man crush tents and stuff
Like in Godzilla
Did you hear who died?
Bob Hope in a big car crash
Just kidding, but no, it's true
÷ Michael Zelner
Burn expectations
Come have your heart, soul, and mind
Sun-burned wide open
"What's fire?" What's burning?
Not to your culture, to you
What does your heart say?
My head is on fire
Piss clear, over here, on me
Put me out again
We want to be us
You want to be one of us
We want you to be
This old thing? My head?
It loves fire, starting again
Laughing in mirrors
Piss here or piss there
Thousand years it won't matter
But today it will.
This old thing? My heart?
It loves to burn, this stinging
Falling to its knees
Another picture
Another tit, that's the shit!
Observers Go Home
Give time to the rain
That isn't falling out there
But here in your heart
÷ Gavin Heck
