"SINGLESVILLE” 27 Mar 01

This is Haiku,
I never understood it much,
five,seven,five

welcome to hell
Dumpsville, population one, you
enjoy your stay

I left you high
and dry for a reason
I didn’t love you

anymore, not anymore
what is gone, is dead
except in memory

can’t breathe life
into history’s faded photographs
cant return to the past

make your mistakes
crucify you forever on them
I hope you smile

I hope you see
what I am trying to achieve
helping you learn

for all I want
you never to do it again
