dream

i dreamed that our cats could breathe underwater,
or hold their breaths a long, long time...
so i put them in Becky's big fishtank so that they could see the fish up close.

a haiku

a haiku i found in a book about Zen goes a little something like this:

Where there are humans
you'll find flies
and buddhas.



i don't know why this haiku doesn't have its final 6 syllables,
but i'm not the master of all haiku rules.
maybe some were lost in translation.


i like it.

and now, one Haiku of my own

the unthinkable,
it happens often enough.
shall we take a stroll?
