big nothing haiku

byseannelson©

artists battle wasps
for their espresso outside
in the thorn garden

under bright bill-boards
gray men with missing legs beg,
unknown yankee dregs

New Yorkers await
9-11's tenth tense year:
possible fire-works

the Prozac Atlas
holds up a sky of black clouds
as our tears rain down

flame dragon-flies
zoom to devour mosquitoes
from elephant hide

beside rainbow road
gold grows on thin stalks of green;
dream-men walk between

one more war winds down,
mammoth shells soaring over
ears new deaf to sound

new ideals proclaimed
brave and luckless souls martyred,
a change of statues
