Café International – 1:30 pm
Another day at the Café
International. Having been diagnosed with cancer, I was beginning to accept
it. The following haiku are not
depressing. They actually reflect an ongoing effort to live in the present and
enjoy what’s left of life as I know it. The verses are inspired by sights and
sounds in and around the café, and are no doubt fueled by the wonderful
stimulus of the coffee served there.

This old man prefers
The rhythm of cawing crows.Throw out the disco.
Alas the story
The wheel of SamsaraIn midsummer heat.
Bamboo and the crows:
What do they know that I don’t?This moment in time.
I love late summer
For the crickets’ ceaseless cries.Sing the mystery.
As if thru the fog,
The world on the other side:A man struggles on.
