(not to be vulgar…)

log floats on river  
waterfall flows it off not  
where’s the damn T.P.?\*

_true pastime for all  
wasting time, making a mess  
'net pornography_  
well, the haiku pedantry of four months ago has finally worn off me.

_Dateline_ is on now  
I should have rented movies  
I punish myself  
The carpet is stained  
My old roommate is an ass  
Cleaning costs money  
Just ate at Wendy’s  
Mmm…good chicken sandwiches  
Just plain, with some cheese…

home from work, tired  
think I’ll just sit for a while  
oops, three hour nap

what is for dinner?  
I think I’ll invite some guests  
hi, Ben and Jerry

dark and stormy night  
I am now out of practice  
so I write poorly

the best commercials  
you never saw, my (fat) ass  
as always, they suck

use the V C R  
I just have to watch E R  
Mark Green’s gonna die

Milton and Dudley  
are in comedy heaven  
matching joke for joke

shampoo, rinse, repeat  
does anyone repeat, or  
is that out of vogue?

sheets on the mattress  
never stay put long enough  
this makes me so sad

Q. Tarantino  
whatcha doin’ now these days  
get your ass to work

fevered baby sleeps  
after night spent crying out  
but no rest for me

dishes stacking up  
floors swept, pets fed, dusting calls  
quick! before he wakes

easter sunday nears  
yet still haven’t bought new clothes  
shopping drains me so…

Haikus, college admissions style

Georgetown rejects me  
Only one option right now  
Go on a bender

Waitlisted at two  
GW is one  
I’m smarter than them

Pomona not yet  
Still is nothing in the mail  
Tell me already

In Macalester  
They want me to go badly  
But St. Paul is cold

Also in Brandeis  
I’d fit in pretty damn well  
Because i’m Jewish

In American  
Gave me a full scholarship  
Looking good right now

UMich waitlisted  
I thought I’d get rejected  
So go Wolverines!

Tough decision now  
Where should I go spend four years?  
Board alums, help me

* * *

Not an sig per se  
I’m Big Kahuna Burger  
A crappy haiku

Darn my family!  
I must not bow to pressure…  
Yay! Sanity saved!

Radio music  
Is there anything better?  
Maybe I’ll watch TV

Got disconnected  
Is my mother calling me?  
It’s my friend, thank Og!

Hey, this is easy!  
I’m getting the hang of it!  
What literature!

Georgetown hates me too,  
They can all kiss my ass now,  
But I’m not bitter.

American U.  
Sends me offers of money  
Maybe I’ll go there?

Dear, sweet Northwestern  
I want to go so badly  
But still, no mail yet.

College is no fun,  
When you’re trying to get in.  
I should just stay home.

**Res** watches SeaLab  
A better show can’t be found  
I laugh at Stormy.

I’m bored, bored, bored, bored,  
so bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored,  
so bored, bored, bored, bored.

I’m repetitive,  
So very repetitive,  
Repeat after me.

I’m so creative,  
I’m a friggin’ genius,  
or possibly not.
