Just cause I wrote it
doesn’t make it haiku, or
even readable.
Poetry is dead.
Poetry rots in its tomb.
Poetry rises.
Sufis and Taoists
meditating while they’re drunk
contemplating . . . wine.
Zen haiku trashcan:
paused to throw out an image
and kill the Buddha.
I alone, a god
raise high the bleeding trophy:
Haiku’s severed head.
In the pale moonlight,
old pine leans over water
and it’s all Trump’s fault.
Basho-san, master,
the frog has leapt long ago
it was green as Kek.
