Late 2014: Senryu
Diary
Early winter
rain:
College
cafeteria,
Scent of chicken
soup.
Would that we might
have
A way to erase the
past:
Control alt
delete.
Passing auto
fads:
Christmas wreaths on the front
end,
Baby on Board signs.
Ribs ache from
coughing,
Not flu but something like
it.
December
30.
Very Long
Novel
800-page
book
Gains steam as it goes
along:
I have made good
friends.
Commercial Real
Estate
Half-empty strip
mall,
Outparcels
available:
But the Dow is
up.
Small, off-brand
churches
Keep our struggling strip
malls
From going
under.
