A long walk

the cute girl
with short black hair
was staring at me
and I couldn't smile
or say hello

walking past a tattoo parlor,
a man was draped over a table:

his bare back bloody
I did not discuss haiku
with the black needle

beautiful Janette
hands me a gyro
and knows the name
that others give my face

There's a bugbear in Cal-Anderson Park, and he's a nibbler!
The brightly colored ribbons of his chew-toy hurt my eyes.

Tom's dyed his red hair black again.
