Haiku Train

[Suzanne]

on his bright red car
torn white paper trapped on glass
words written in haste.

[anniecat]

words written in haste
no explanation needed
the words say it all

[Marc]

The words say it all
although actions speak louder:
you shout with your eyes.

[Suzanne]

you shout with your eyes
blinking obscene sentences
tongue pressed on teeth

[Danté]

tongue pressed on teeth
was just one of the symptoms
of her condition.

[Suzanne]

of her condition
he thought with exuberance
she was a hunter.

[Danté]

she was a hunter
and he was a gatherer
of vegetables.

[Suzanne]

of vegetables
she feigns interest each evening
prefering ripe fruit.

[Danté]

prefering ripe fruit
she grasped a large banana
it drooped in her hand.

[Suzanne]

it drooped in her hand
then chopped it in small pieces
baked it into bread.

[Danté]

baked it into bread
which rose like the lord himself
oh hallelujah.

[Marc]

Oh hallelujah,
hallelujah, hall-e-loo
oo- ooo- ooo- oo, jah.

[Suzanne]

Oo- ooo- ooo- oo, jah!
lost in a Sunday morning
reaching open hands.

[Marc]

Reaching, open hands
beckon me through pearly gates;
see all my old friends.

[Suzanne]

too see my old friends
I'll fly to California
pure escapism.

[Marc]

Pure escapism:
like posting up poetry
on internet sites.

[Suzanne]

on internet sites
posting poetry is like
pure escapism

[Suzanne]

pure escapism
strings loosen with closing eyes
white lace scented haze.

[Marc]

White lace scented haze:
her boudoir awaited him
a trap for his soul

[Suzanne]

a trap for his soul
is what she would never be
she offered freedom.

[Danté]

she offered freedom
to him alone and not some
pale imitation.

[Marc]

Pale imitation.
Like the inflatable doll
underneath his bed.

[Danté]

underneath his bed
where they listened to her screams
of utter delight.

[Suzanne]

underneath his bed
folded secret envelopes
letters written by hand.

[arunansu]

written by hand
caressed with a kiss
carried by dove
