Haiku (56-60)
56
penny for your thoughts
hot microphones are listening,
prison for your thoughts
57
wanness with nature,
conserved electricity;
the brutal lumens
58
something to say, the
verbose Benedictine breaks
his vow of silence
59
staring at a screen
practicing to disappear,
the aimless scroller
60
hibernating bug
under tree-bark's shingle roof,
icicle ice picks
