one-line linked haiku (10/23/1998-12/23/1998)

'underside [of a ladybug]'

underside of a ladybug scaling lines of window screen

the need to think in female red won't let go

comic tests a new character in the vanity mirror

first-grade pictures a tongue-tied kigo

smudges of sepia from too many little fingers

up late with a creative creature miles away

file edit mailbox message transfer special window help

dripping faucet reminder to turn back the clock

nature conservancy thoughts of o henry & my love land

morning walks kept in collected rocks

ego as a mummy the time to gather the rusty dusty agos

threadbare nightgown hangs behind the door

13th link on 31st day the mailbox already struck down

after lightning the mature maple blackened ash

can a shuttle intercept his remains headed for my moon

gazing skyward the pock marked face of youth

janet jackson:free your ass and your mind will follow

loose shirt threads cling to static touch

distortion of lines scrambled cable station in censor mode

adult haiku will it ever catch on

burrs in her hair remnants of their afternoon tryst

back home from a flu shot & errands my body shot

following etchings of change that radiate from sunken eyes

vast wrongwingers to lucianne to linda to monica

chat relay adds strange characters before glitch is identified

with no devil what's in the details

life less magnified misplaced glasses allow muted contours

bottled up in boxes thousands of esoteric wanderings

through email a stranger from my past seeks a future

face-to-face i'm full of flaws

skin & bones the freak show of international meanies & us

bodies of misfortune counting their ribs

lucky again something i write rejected by a little magazine

laughing at the typo that changes my gender

impeachy probably the president's penis will be subpoenaed

the dance igniting passions again in rhythm

notes 15m: eugene shoemaker on lunar prospector
