Spring Haiku
grass springs eternal
second rabbit coming came
trail round brown pellets
spring break breaks Palm Springs
wet T-shirt survival contest
school’s out forever
spring board springs tucked flip
diving board springs cannon ball
room sent bored springs screams
fifth-day & sixth-day collisions
u made an inside to keep me out
i flew in to make a fly-dome
b 4 u get ur swatter think
twice b 4 u swat me
4 our dance is on
u sway ur arms &
i waltz my wings
if fly b gone
no bird nor frog
2 b prey 4 & up UP
the food chain until
ur hen is thin
2 make ur chicken fat
drop ur swatter &
leave the water-pools still &
fly will egg offspring overnight
a lime green thong is bursting out all over
your black rainproof cover is soot gray
pink feather dusting for the end-dust man
your wheels as dull as an un-reflecting mirror
lubricate your wheels with WD-40 &
KY Jelly squirts on your bearings eazes your roll
roll you to the patio
Saturday pm ravenous carnivores arrive
un-shirt & pose pecks on the patio
Tom turns on your burners &
burns beef burgers & buns
all barbecue season your host consults Ms. Manners
to host the proper barbecue
the host prays Peter likes my coleslaw
Mary burns his hand on the grill
your host changes into a white nurse uniform
with a diamond cap & mends Mary's burn
by melting margarine all over Mary
Please Paul poke me with a greazy spatula
Phillip spill Budweiser over your T-shirt & shorts
Pedro un-pant & let your host polish you
in the laundry tub with a brillo pad
such a sweet sweet barbecue fantazy baby
