marlene mountain
other-line haiku sequence
1981
working mother's night haiku
it would have made sense
the speeding ticket getting home
rather
than to work
the almost sanity 5-9
compared
to nine to five
tonight just the lifting
of foil from the tv dinner
takes
the strength
the painting idea remains
just
the painting idea
if there is a moon
she goes unnoticed
the
clock set again
the drink of gin
scratches
in the journal
the old stereo hardly sounds
the [unable to read]
of bach
but nonetheless bach
back to 'other-line haiku sequences contents'
back to 'main contents'
