senryu cluster

cookie crumbs -

    there´s an employee meeting 

Friday afternoon 

--

lazy afternoon 

  leaving hallway mirror

unpolished 

--

dust on curtains grandma´s old parlor where time stands still 

--

ma´s return home

    always that scowl

on her face

--

new futon needed-

     finding this brown carpet

depressing 

--

off day-

   too tired to exercise 

after dinner 

--

craving 

    a margarita badly --

only beer in fridge

--

strong strong liquor

     somewhere 

a slamming door

--

nonsweet mint tea

       asking grandma

what´s a victrola

--

bay leaves in chili...

      my daughter spanks 

her baby doll

--

tangerine moon 

      not really hungry

just bored

--

unfamiliar with peace 

      tv left on 

in back bedroom 

--

traffic standstill-

     editing my 

grocery list

--

late night busride

    passing by kiosk

after kiosk

--

thinking of Tokyo...

    nearly missing

my stop

--

drinks at Applebees

     not much else 

going on...

--

running taxi meter

      nothing else 

really matters

--

suppressing yawns 

    watching another 

Netflix movie

--

blank look 

    of field scarecrows...

¨where´s my damn glasses?¨

--

now September

          what of people´s

New Year resolutions

--

priceless kimono 

          choosy on what

my money´s spent 

--

this life

     quite an adventure 

in and out 

--

cigarette after cigarette

          one for each

of my problems

--
