Boston Haikai -1

Two bars of bath soap, 
one very big and one small ---
My roommate won't mind
2011-2012 -- The shower
Thanks to Justin for remembering this and not minding.

Boston Haikai 8

A jug of water
Carried slowly to not spill --
This tree is so big!

I am not mad that
White clouds block infinity --
Very far is fine.
 29 Aug 2015 -- The back yard and the field
Inspired by Chesterton

Please excuse my son.
We're sorry to interrupt
Mister Pigeon's work.

Boston Haikai 6

Satan, like a cat,
Spilled my sugar on the floor.
Here's God with the broom!

Boston Haikai 5

Clouds on vacation.
Oceans, cities, and now me --
short, sweating native.
8 Jul 2015 -- The playground

Boston Haikai 4

"Heave ho!" "Look lively!"
Lifting dirt, spreading gravel,
Adjusting diapers.
24 Jun 2015 -- The playground

Boston Haikai 3

"Clear blue sky," thinks grass
"And I am Nature's fine work."
Men with rakes wipe sweat.
24 Jun 2015 -- The playground

Boston Haikai 2

A glass of water,
A certain lightness of soul --
Ah, student loan debt!
24 Apr 2015 -- The kitchen

Boston Haikai 1

Winter clouds lifting
Melting snow offers new sights ---
A bottle of pee.
