The Blight of Poetry-
Like a pulled tooth
Chapped lips and a hole in
The sole
A tee shirt
That reads Add Verse
Double crossing hexameters
(Whatever those are)
And me
Baffled hair
Writing it all down
For Walt-
The sea
Is all of our names
Without being any of them.
My Favorite Novel-
On the chalk board
Two dimensional windmills
And Quixote
With a barber’s bowl
For wings
Film Critic-
Kung Fu Hustle
Is the true spiritual
Sequel of the Matrix
Lollygagging-
Electromagnetic fields
To stand in. And then there’s mass. Not to be
Confused with weight.
What was said
Spoke of beginnings,
The cowlick birds
Holler on the strings of gravity.
A Stone on a Pillow-
You establish it is
Windy
By opening a window
By solving some math problems
In a notebook
Feeding the birds
By the look of the city roofs
And no matter how far you walk
naïve haircuts 
Love the Don Quixote and The Matrix haiku, still one of my favorite films —

Hi Bob. I always enjoy the, how do I describe it? Casual mysticism? of your poetry.
*makes mental note to check that Kung Fu Hustle is indeed the spiritual sequel to the Matrix* 😄
