Things To Which Emily Listens Politely
30 August 2015
Boston Haikai -1
Two bars of bath soap,
one very big and one small ---
My roommate won't mind

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
Boston Haikai 7
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!
18 Jul 2015 -- The closet
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.
25 Mar 2015 -- The bus
