elephants are slow

but you just try stopping one

lay your table

 cut off your fingers

stick a pen into your brain

and run around a lot

 an hour 

writing a haiku

is a bit shit

shit happens

write it down on paper

then use it

short long short of it

bugger counting syllables

take yourself out

 wet saturday 

wet caturday

eating wet grass all day

 the fever has gone

dawn morning has taken it

life’s chorus sings

 ten thousand years

a house described then

is mine today

 last meal

the death sentence is passed

the fly shall die

 never venturing out

fear always fingertips away 

from the sea’s embrace

 a paparazzi 

hitting the paydirt

where’s the crown

 dying

i said to the doctor 

take care

 delirium 

strangers are whispering

around my calling

 sea horses

rolling in the wind’s mane 

emotions stampede
