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.

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.
