Haiku Train

[Danté]

deep sigh- go to bed
wearing silk worm cocoons
over erect nipples

[Suzanne]

over erect nipples
she gasped, slapped him, adjusted
her blue bikini.

[Marc]

Her blue bikini
called to him through his closed eyes.
He took a sly glance.

[Suzanne]

He took a sly glance
thought of buying a franchise
in ACME spy gear.

[Marc]

In acme spy gear
like a cartoon character
he stalked the bunny.






(Nah, wassup doc?)

[Travis]

He stalked the bunny.
He stopped stalking the bunny.
He began again.

[Suzanne]

He began again
his pockets full of wishes
blindly chasing dreams.

[nar]

blindly chasing dreams
fading fragrant yellows, greens
Scottish summertime

[Marc]

Scottish summertime
said the bum in the doorway,
slumped in the sunshine.

[Suzanne]

Slumped in the sunshine
Eskimo pies jump off sticks
sticky graffiti.

[Oskar]

Sticky Graffiti
picks up the rice in the church
where her wedding has

[Danté]

where her wedding has
whiteness covering the fact
she isn't intact

[Suzanne]

she isn't intact:
her transmission's overhauled
and no spare tyre.

[nar]

and no spare tyre
rubberless bareback riding
breakdown imminent

[Danté]

breakdown imminent
but that doesn't surprise me
now Iv'e seen his pen

[nar]

now I've seen his pen
is hyphenation, ok
short yet to the point

[Danté]

short yet to the point
is no justification
for its lack of size

[Marc]

By any standard
lamp in muggy front parlours
you read Betjeman.

Whoops I've gone mad! I don't know where I saw 'By any standard' .....

I'll try again!

[Marc]

For it's lack of size
the Haiku train ran quickly
over faulty points.

[Suzanne]

over faulty points
your voice tried to remain calm
afraid she'd beat you.

[Marc]

"Afraid she'd beat you,
were you, boy? No son of mine
should be so weedy!"

[Suzanne]

Should be so weedy?
Seedy? Whipping bull tweety?
I don't have a clue.

[nar]

I don't have a clue -
inevitability's
inadequacy

[Marc]

Inadequacy.
Inebriation's fellow;
Delinquent drinker.

[Suzanne]

delinquent drinker
should have started earlier
late to the party.
