one-line linked haiku december 1995-september 1997
just the facts
'just the facts ma'am' mad/am i am it's all haiku to me
genetic engineering . . . outsmarting whom?
'national treasure' 'that old nigamammy washer woman'
on the ramp . . . models wafer-thin
heady power of freedom she defends all porn to a male liberal
divorced 20 years she finds self respect
global poisons--bewildered wildlife displaced and dying
' who was loved when she should have been whipped'
dust devils last of the wild horses race with the wind
in his own words: child-molesting demon
the captive dolphins 'folks sure love to watch them perform'
what a relief year of the elderly not 'til 1999
after 50 years--my mother falls for her old beau again
possessed by spring possessed even by summer
same old religious group banging at the front door
thankful i'm 'god-forsaken'
storefront schools teaching those who have lost hope
now little-bitty kids molest each other
baby born drunk why in this man's world a woman on binges
a nineties bad word 'fat' . . . any kind
fbi 'fits the profile' file unbulges mama's tupperware and son
. . . guess we'll build another prison
three-star rating ford and fonda ride rodeo and sex-smirk
fame and the psychiatrist's couch
everything to write home about but i guess i’d better not
loving her--despite the distance
misogynist's #1 worst-dressed woman: transvestite rodman
clitoridectomy. . . castration clinics?
god-fearing fear-talk spermless dolly's 'mona lisa' smile
morning ritual . . . 'putting on her face'
deforestation--ancient giants fall into the arms of progress
every 2 hours in america a kidnapping
the emergence of street gangs in cities--tribes
'sbc' majority votes agin equality again
our lovely daughter . . . everybody's friend . . . no man’s 'gal'
'on' mother nature's 'green earth'
