where dimes are kindness,

quarters are some kind of love

I think I'll stay home

insight scrawls the bathroom stall

my quarters are gone

Walking without legs,

flying without wings, longing

without an object.

 

Without an object

to flesh out in a haiku,

it gets so Western.

 

It gets so Western,

a haiku set in the mind

instead of nature.

 

Instead of nature,

we observe figments of our

indoctrination.

words flow unconscious

leaping, as it were, through space

Tall eucalyptus 

listening now quietly

places me back in 
 



places me back in

home is where the heart is, and

where the heart is, home

Which way? Which way now?

TAO now, brown cow.   Where stones sing

I care for others,

I don't care for still others --

like the falling rain.
