... and such
by Charlie Morgan

atoms, mites, dander
all devour each's other
simple plan gone awry.

when 101 viewers can read
the above haiku but
can't any ONE write,
i wonder if i might
infer from this
that they've got
nothing
to say
or maybe they
just don't like
me and my tripe.

rate-ings, or rape-ings
i'm still making
judgements,
don't bother me
with your reasons
for THE NOT WRITE,
rather instead
leave the main
as to stay
on keel
with words
to someone
not yet born,
from another country,
another time--
then i'll get my stripes
of glory for all that i write.
