Haiku to You
Uninspired man,
Sits frowning, drumming fingers,
He has no haiku.
Bald head, smeared with sun.
Whiteness, time passes, redness.
Melanin needed.
I like chess 'cause there's
No moral grey area.
I'm a simple man.
Old, dried coffee stain.
A reminder of good times.
When I had coffee.
Meaningless fury
In a rough sea of chatter.
Truth, unfindable.
