Bob Haiku
Bob in Nice Dream
Fresh-faced sweet Bob from
sexy dream, promising to—
My alarm clock rings.
Solution Too Late
Bob says, let’s get hitched,
move to France, go all Buddhist.
You died last year, I say.
The Cat’s Meow
Past the good tables
Smiling in the cat café
Bob with a cold sore.
Starbucks Discovery
Slurping espresso
Divorced Bob going nowhere
like hair lost in soup.
How I Lost My Bob
They looked sweet, kissing
Near the gladiola tree
Bob and his friend, Bob.
