Morning Thoughts in Haiku.

In or out please choose 

safe under the net we sleep

then you meow again 

try new things, even 

if it scares you. but tell your

moto please slow down 

red dirt red hair red

is everywhere. you might

think this is china. 

anticipation

will the lights work this morning 

water is bonus 

there are not enough 

baby wipes in the whole world 

to make me feel clean. 

small kids begging, as

I walk home to make dinner

this life is not fair 

be as curious

about the world as Afr'cans

are with redhead folk

on three continents

my cat has travelled with me 

global companion

deodorant is

useless when you haven’t done 

laundry in two weeks 

why did I bring so

much makeup to Africa

send me chocolate

I know I'm tasty

just ask the spider who bit

my leg for his lunch 

one person will not 

change the world, but isn't it 

our duty to try? 

in fifty years my 

grandchildren are going to 

think I'm a badass. 

walk to the market, 

sense overload? Nah, I would 

rather watch Netflix.

remind me again
why do others suffer while
I sit on the couch

how can it be real

that twenty years ago, blood 

flowed like a river 

is it ultimate 

forgiveness or ultimate

manipulation? 

so many unknowns, 

what is Rwanda? I can

just scratch the surface. 

walk slow. xoxo.
