    John C. Waugh
    “dance
    my friend
    until it's done

    busted haiku are my attempt
    to poke holes in reality's wallpaper...
    they come unbidden in brief
    flashes at unappointed times...
    they are not memories,
    rather a separate way of seeing

    forget what you know

    used enlightenment
    as-is
    needs work

    no clock ticks
    true time

    first crocus pokes winter in the ass

    loves me not
    she loves me
    i quit while ahead

    god is blind

    tiny spider
    i too hang in vastness

    first loves
    her hand and mine”
