Various separate haiku:
No word of comfort
was given as he and she
said one more goodbye
Like a microbiologist, studious.
He cranes his neck and gaze,
and sifts through a garbage can
Full and misshapen bags clank after him.
His emergency fund
is lighter than it looks
The toilet, rebellious in my apartment today.
It's far too soon
to find this funny
Alert and darting eyes look past the drunken crowd
towards the swinging door,
and towards his phone, which remained still
The empty light shined on
pavement, but it didn't shine
on that for which I waited.
She batted her eyes and lied to me seductively.
Excited to pretend to believe her,
Alcohol and the dim light helps.
The midnight dew on this street mutely glistens,
and the subway's winds mutely hum.
A girl mutely scurries with her silent keys
