they love haikus, too

In the ice sculpture
reflected bar mitzvah guests
nosh on chopped liver.

 

The sparkling blue sea
beckons me to wait one hour
after my sandwich.

 

Is one Nobel Prize
so much to ask from a child
after all I’ve done?

 

How soft the petals
of the flower arrangement
I have just stolen.

Your hotness is, like, a gift.
Wasting it is rude.

I have a headache

Perhaps if you could

supply me with some advil

you read Marx and draw curves. Your

toes look good in red.

 

But after two weeks

you’d stop calling. I’m just not

efficient enough.
