like they used to



at Mike’s barber shop,
they’re well-versed in the straight blade
and squeaky scissors.

    Thought about you/your haiku ways (quote from an old biddy murder mystery writer/one of my old faves):

    “She went to bed thinking more about another person that about herself. This goes to prove that even minor poetry may have its practical uses.”

    You’re not trying to suggest my haiku are minor poetry, are you?
    ;)

    no – “that even minor poetry”… implies a larger effect from greater poetry. I was a little more focused on how poetry (even “MINOR”) opens one up to the world more.

    Besides – “trying to suggest” sounds like work, like I actually have some sort of mental filter that I have the slightest clue how to own and operate. Nuances are not my style/energy level.
