Haiku Train

[Marc]

Bedroom heat. Steel sliced
fresh mangos and passion fruit.
Oh, decadent days!

[Suzanne]

Oh, decadent days!
Laughter under yellow eaves
all windows open.

[oranggunung]

All windows open
Air freshens musty corners
Saturday morning

[Suzanne]

Saturday morning-
longed for soft sunshine teases
sleepy eyelashes.

[oranggunung]

sleepy eyelashes
dragging sagging eyelids closed
must pull off the road

[Travis]

Must pull off the road.
Gotta take a piss real bad.
Do you see a place?

[Lake]

Do you see a place?
You are so very funny,
Sir Samaritan !

[oranggunung]

Sir Samaritan,
if a chicken needed help,
would you cross the road?

[Marc]

Kind Samaritan,
saw the chicken needed help.
Ate it that same night.

[Travis]

Would you cross the road
just to get to the other
side? Fuck yeah! Of course!

[arunansu]

the other side
of dark hemisphere
gets the sun

[Lake]

gets the sun
rushes to the west
guess what he gets?

[oranggunung]

Guess what he gets ...
a custodial sentence -
life in cyberspace.

[Lake]

Life in cyberspace -
we are back to nature, watch
insects in cobwebs

[Marc]

Insects in cobwebs
spinning slowly down to die.
See? I recall Bread!

[Suzanne]

See? I recall Bread!
"found your diary underneath...
...reading about me."

[nar]

reading about me
manuscripts migrate southwards
potential pastures

[Travis]

Potential pastures
(green ones) are nowhere to be
found. Pessimism.

[Lake]

found pessimism
in optimism, rainfall
in the sunny sky

[oranggunung]

In the sunny sky
Summer’s promise to return -
now it grows colder

[nar]

now it grows colder
icicles get ambitious
awaiting the drip

[Marc]

Awaiting the drip,
drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip.
Love like a holed roof.

[k-j]

Love like a holed roof:
the drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip,
drip of jealousy.

[oranggunung]

drips of jealousy
fell from him, like acid rain
scarring all around

[Travis]

Scarring all around,
results of nothing ventured,
and nothing really...
