100 Haikus (71 – 80)

 

71.

Some coffee and cake

A piano, a guitar

And the internet

 

72.

A recording date

Has been confirmed for a song

I haven’t written

 

73.

I eat my dessert

Standing up in the kitchen

While the main meal cooks

 

74.

I may not be rich

Or handsome or brave or cool

Or clever or… fuck

 

75.

He saw the error

Of everyone else’s ways

But never his own

 

76.

They live in the place

Between his unhappiness

And her happiness

 

77.

Indestructo-man!

The only thing that hurts him:

When she didn’t call

 

78.

Poor little bullet

You only do a good job

When you are fired

 

79.

I stay up late to

Make my weekend seem longer

Tired on Monday

 

80.

Laughter and sex are

Two of my favourite things

Not at the same time
