Cuckoo for Haiku 2 — The Next Thousand

  



1001

Turned the funeral
Into a flaming shit show
That’s all about her

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1002

The one thing that she
Complained about more than me
Was how much it cost

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1003


It’s been since COVID

That she stopped taking showers

Uses wipes instead


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1004


She’s the new best friend

With absolutely no clue

Why the others left


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1005


I hope she stops soon

This shit talk and harassment 

Has gotten tiresome


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1006


My Muse needs to rest

This last drama was too much 

She needs to reboot


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1007


It takes an effort

People can’t hide forever 

Who they really are


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1008


Pieces of my life

Suddenly fell together 

When my eyes opened 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1009


I allow nothing

To come me and my

Precious peace of mind 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1010


An unlikely pair

Glam girl and a sloppy bum

Can he afford her


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1011


Is all that I am

Just particulate matter 

Clinging to raindrops


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1012


I’m dressed cowgirl style

A Spanish lady exclaimed

To me ¡que guapa! 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1013


Green lights all the way

Traveling unimpeded

On straight and smooth roads 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1014


Spring is almost here

My heart sings with longer days

Darkness gets banished


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1015


My hoodie pouch stuffed

Giving me the bloated paunch

Of an old white man


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1016


The sun cannot rise

Until it is awakened

By morning bird songs 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1017


The rooster’s asleep

And neglecting his duty

To wake up the sun 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1018


The weekend’s over

It’s back to humanity

At its ugliest


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1019


People I deal with

Are either very stupid

Or being ugly


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1020


Each day I keep safe

Darwin Award candidates 

From their stupid selves


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1021


Zombies are sleeping

Limp bodies frozen in time

On the train platform 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1022


Spring is almost here

Mexican primroses bloom

Along the sidewalks 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1023


Getting the stink eye

From a glowering hermit

As he fouls his nest


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1024


It’s made from the piss

Of diabetic weasels

Bud Light is nasty


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1025


If it is not good

Still write it down anyway

To stay in the flow


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1026


My Muse has a name

She whispered it in my mind

Somehow it suits her


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1027


Not just a windbag

She’s much more refined than that

While keeping it real


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1028


Come Election Day 

I hope sanity prevails

Let there be reason


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1029


It’s disheartening

To see an incompetent 

Elected to run


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1030


Monsters in our midst

And other scary humans

Mingle among us


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1031


Those who see the truth

Get their names sullied and smeared

And discredited 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1032


Nothing in the bank

Yet she has on her fingers

Quite the nice fortune


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1033


She wants attention

So I’ll give her a chapter 

In my tell-all book


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1034


The lights are so bright

At the soccer stadium 

They whitewash the sky


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1035


I’m away from home 

For more than sixty-five hours 

During the workweek 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1036


I wake up early

My mind is racing nonstop 

Feeling overwhelmed 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1037


Yo-yo weather

A string of hot days followed 

By a string of cold


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1038


I could not resist

ADHD impulse buy

An eBay bargain


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1041


Daylight Savings Time 

Made it very hard for me

To get enough sleep 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1042


He gave me the code

So I could let myself in 

New level unlocked


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1043


She communicates

With ETs and aliens

They talk in her head 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1044


Wherever I am

Once it’s time to leave I will 

Without looking back 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1045


He was very young 

When he sucked his uncle’s dick

Cuz he was told to


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1046


He thought it was love

Didn’t know it was abuse

Or that he was raped


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1047


His uncle taught him

That there’s more to a penis

Than just making pee


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1048


He slipped his fingers

Inside her tiny panties

She was only five


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1049


He tried to blame her

Said she was leading him on

But she’s only five


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1050


He cannot accept

That he’s a twisted pervert

Children serve his needs


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1051


She is what she is

Incestuous pedophile 

Preying on her son


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1052


Musette’s on a roll

Dictating to me haiku

About pedophiles 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1053


Nothing is taboo

From killing tiny kittens

To fucking schoolboys


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1054


She is a hoarder

Who cannot even throw out

Her shit-filled diapers


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1055


When I tell others

Of my sister’s craziness

They all are speechless


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1056


Hope she looks at him

With a dispassionate eye 

Then she’ll remember 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1057


Never felt better

Ever since I decided

To go no contact


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1058


It’s the harshest truth

Everything I cherished

Was based on a lie


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1059


Smear campaigns starting

If she cannot control me

Lies are the next choice


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1060


The platform sitters

There’s nowhere they need to be

They just ride all day


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1061


That’s absolutism

It’s either all or nothing

With no room to breathe


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1062


Yellow kimonos

Lying on the garden bench

I woke up too soon


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1063


Elusive meanings

Dreams of yellow kimonos

I could not try on


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1064


I do not reward

Any unsafe behavior 

With a free train ride 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1065


Baby left the nest

Helicopter mom and dad

Hover close nearby


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1066


No hope for humans

Collective stupidity 

Will get us all killed


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1067


Showed me her tattoo

A little bit of whimsy

Mushrooms on her leg


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1068


Our connection morphed

An emotional affair

His wife does not know 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1069


Dreams had fallen flat

Ambition gone up in smoke

Nothing left to lose


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1070


Some of them just sit

Doing their best to kill time

Bothering no one


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1071


I talk in haiku

With each measured syllable 

I communicate 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1072


The package arrived

A faint whiff of cigar smoke 

Clung to the contents


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1073


If he were cut loose

And all entanglements gone

I’d surely say yes


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1074


I know that he sees

My encoded messages

And my secret thoughts


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1075


It’s ok to dream

And for now I’m content

To be with my dogs 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1076


I may hate my job

But I love my peace of mind 

It’s worth ev’rything


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1077


Eagerly waiting 

For my Asian tea shipment

I can taste it now


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1078


Eagerly I wait

For his email to arrive

We share a soul bond


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1079


Those three loaded words

Someday I will be able

To say l love you


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1080


He cares for his wife

He will not abandon her

So we’ll have to wait


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1081


We share a deep bond

That burrows into our core

Spanning across time


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1082


The time is not yet

We enjoy the sweet tension

That comes with waiting


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1083


Lone black dog trotting

Another lost throwaway 

Looking for a home


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1084


My heart always breaks

When I see a homeless dog 

It’s not the dog’s fault


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
