I submitted one of my old favorites to a site called haikubreakup, which I have to thank Albert for pointing out a couple weeks back. Haikubreakup has one of the truly great haiku concepts on the internet, and I highly recommend you check it out if you haven’t yet.

My submission, originally titled “grande mascara latte” (in honor of the scene that inspired it), was posted there last Sunday, where they gave it the imaginative title “from howard in philadelphia“.

dumped over coffee,
she’s way past caring whether
they can see her cry
