Haiku Train

[nar]

Missed her, Cameron?
Aim a little further to
the far far far right

[oranggunung]

The far, far, far right,
just beyond Herr Hitler, there,
on the mantelpiece.

[nar]

on the mantlepiece
tarnished urn lacking polish
ʎɹoʇsıɥ pǝsɹǝʌǝɹ

[oranggunung]

Reversed history,
just like Benjamin Button,
began at the end.

[Lake]

began at the end
of winter, spring revived with
an April shower

[KevJ]

An April Shower?
or tears for my lost youth?
my ship is sinking

[Lake]

my ship is sinking
in the April foggy clouds
an airplane takes off

[KevJ]

An airplane takes off
her destination nowhere
The sky is crying

[oranggunung]

the sky is crying
tears streak the world around me
the wind is howling

[KevJ]

The wind is howling
a vortex of destruction
calm at the centre

[oranggunung]

calm at the centre
at least it seems so from the
event horizon

[KevJ]

event horizon
the laws of physics break down
a black hole in space

[oranggunung]

a black hole in space
the comminuted cosmos
efficiently packed

[KevJ]

efficiently packed
saga holiday awaits
ready to escape

[oranggunung]

ready to escape -
maximum velocity -
the astronaut waves

[KevJ]

the astronaut waves
poised for his EVA
singing Major Tom

[KevJ]

"singing Major Tom?
Can you hear me Major Tom?
...calling Major Tom..."

[oranggunung]

calling Major Tom
a junkie may have sped his
meteoric fall

[KevJ]

meteoric fall
like an old Hollywood actress
best years behind her

[nar]

Best years behind her
Rooney was her only choice
WAGawannabe

[KevJ]

WAGawannabe
with an eye for the bling thing
and footballers' thighs

[oranggunung]

and footballers’ thighs
are very cheap in July
why don’t you try one?

[KevJ]

why don't you try one?
it's chocolatey and hoppy
like Old Engine Oil

[nar]

like Old Engine Oil -
lubbly jubbly lubricant
fills little bottle

[oranggunung]

fills little bottle
at the race doctor’s behest -
exceeds the limit
