Haiku: 22 to 30

22
i hear centipedes
undulating in the light,
now you in the dark.

23
a dog in the road
dragging garbage behind him
covering his tracks.

24
the praying mantis
loses his head then the rest –
without one regret.

25
i can’t wait to die –
wait, i don’t really mean it
these drugs must be good.

26
you see the Buddha
in your eyes i see Jesus
is one of us blind?

27
all the dying kids
scarred and scared in hallway beds –
why am i alive?

28
say the dog ate it,
explain it to saint peter –
the dog ate your life.

29
don’t crow about it
i can’t talk about your cock –
can’t you see i’m straight?

30
take out the garbage
let’s eat chips and watch tv
pretend we’re married.
