Here in a black bed at night I think
about your spring green bed
and bite my lip.

---

Remember, I brought you a butterfly!
Don't be mad at me for being a little worried sometimes,
it comes with free butterflies!

---

You pick up your cats and kiss them.
They seem sleepy and content with it.
But my implacable cat kisses noses and fingers, first.

---

Sometimes your cheeks are so rosy.
It makes me wonder what you have been doing,
secretly, with your cheeks!

---

I'd like to carve secret tunnels in trees,
make caves underground like Never Never Land!
You'd say, forebodingly, "Sounds like a lot of work."

---

Let's run a race together!
Come on, it's 4:39 AM and you're asleep 7 miles away.
Get the fuck up!

---

Hey man, what do you think about marmosets?
If there was a war, who would win:
Marmosets or Axolotls?

---

American haiku have no syllabic restrictions.
But I don't know why I am writing you American haiku
in the middle of the night like this. Do you?

---

Can wrists be sonorous? I imagine conductors
and flag men, using their wrists
to say things from inaudible distance.

---

There. I was going to write you ten haiku and go to bed.
This haiku, cheatingly, is the tenth.
It is not really a haiku at all.
