Haiku Train

[Lake]

to look at the stars
with only your naked eyes
how far can you hear?

[Oskar]

How far can you hear?
If six turned out to be nine
Jimi wouldn't mind.

[anniecat]

Jimi wouldn't mind
a bakers dozen i think
for a penny each

[Marc]

For a penny each
slipping the ferry over
our river of dreams.

[Suzanne]

our rivers of dreams
meandering mingle
then twist together.

[Marc]

Then twist together
like the afternoon lovers
in a French movie.

[Suzanne]

In a French movie
you held your honey latte,
she kissed your cold cheek.

[Marc]

She kissed your cold cheek,
then pulling up your trousers
said "Let's go indoors..."

[Suzanne]

said "let's go indoors"
fumble in vacuumed entrance
warm burst fogs glasses.

[anniecat]

warm burst fogs glasses
let me clean them whilst i stand
over this chip pan

[firefly]

over this chip pan
considering - why don't I
just buy oven chips?

[anniecat]

just buy oven chips?
no chippy will do for me
wont help my diet

[Danté]

wont help my diet
to improve my libido
but It'll be fun.

[Suzanne]

but it'll be fun...
honey, it's not happening
she said, no, never.

[Danté]

she said, no, never
while her body language spoke
of her willingness.

[Suzanne]

of her willingness
he heard her speak of often
she smiled... and said, no.

[Danté]

she smiled... and said, no
while his response was simply
to go look elsewhere.

[Suzanne]

To go look elsewhere?
No bakery held her options;
just buns in baskets.

[Danté]

just buns in baskets
and half empty flasks of tea,
he'd asked for coffee.

[Suzanne]

he'd asked for coffee
she'd offer him java cream
take away ready.

[Danté]

take away ready
or not, just hot beverage
in a plastic cup.

[Suzanne]

in a plastic cup,
though hot enough to burn;
he would need a nurse.

[Danté]

he would need a nurse
or someone dressed just like one
to brighten his day.

[Suzanne]

to brighten his day
she's always eager to dance
in just her stockings.

[Danté]

in just her stockings
which he used as a fan belt
on his bright red car.
