Weekend Musings

This Friday through Sunday, in a dozen haikus

Dress code is enforced

But I’m in last night’s outfit

In a swarm of suits

*

Swallowing my gum

As I pass by a trash can

Just to feel something

*

Drinking vodka crans

With melted ice, in plastic

Chased with flat champagne

*

Should I strive to be

Beautiful but sensitive

Or hot and stone cold?

*

The elder man blasts

Olivia Rodrigo

From his bike boom box

*

A game of Jenga

Is a live action version

Of my life lately

*

Great people have dogs

Named after dead old ladies

Or random objects

*

Living the dream is

Being the hottest fish in

A liquor store tank

*

Cronuts walked so

Vegetable martinis can

Run. I’m here for it

*

Share my fire escape

With a vacant pigeon nest

This is Manhattan

*

Yes or no only

Birthday cake cream cheese bagels

Who the hell would dare?

*

Crying on the street

Is now my second nature

I think I love it
