Haiku Train
By Paul Ford
I Overheard These on the 5-7-5
To be read quickly, in alternating voices.
Goddamnfuckmeman
I gave that dumb cunt my life
And the bitch kept it
People live down here
Spare, please, some food or quarters
Anything, nickels
I was so lonely
But the secret for me is
All about the gym
If he will have me
I remain his forever
15 forever
I'm sorry but could
You move to the bar if you
Only want to drink
To wait for the F
The stone solid chewing gum
Dark Zen rock garden
Talking to myself
Sodium streetlight yellow
Blanketed and soft
Into the patterns
The merging voices settle
Down like upstate snow
