Iron in the sand
burns rust red over yellow
desert sea of sand

Tracks in the sand a
Viper went this way, under
this bush he still waits

Eye to eye with a
Desert wolf, who blinks last wins
Slim body small frame

The desert

Life

Exchanging glances
With veiled women who

Driving through herds of
Camels as they wander here
and there aimlessly

Treading cockroaches
Bare foot as I rise from bed
Simple farm house sleep

Watching the monsoon
Indian ocean rollers
break on Salala

Real wild mountain men
Prepared to shoot for what they
Want, a ride to town

Stopped by the bare foot
Jebaleys, world war two guns
Slung over their arms

Watching the Sultans
Palace at sun set, lit up
1001 nights

Watching sea turtles
Lay eggs on the Indian
Ocean lonely beech

Climbing sand dunes
three hundred feet high desert
Rub Al Khali sands

Diving Red sea wreck
Twenty miles out on a reef
Shoals of colored fish

Walking through mud brick
Houses from a biblical time
Smiling children run

Sailing wooden dhow
Far out in the gulf, catching
Barracuda fish

Men with guns and swords
Must be a wedding, dancing
Sharp swords held aloft

Exchanging smiles and
handshakes with strangers and gods
family blessing

Dazzling Gold souk
Almost too bright for the eyes
Jangles the senses

Walk through the spice souk
Exotic Smells to describe
Like food for the soul

Fully clothed women
Frolicking in the serf and
Trying hard to swim

Watching fishermen
catching sprats to sun dry for
protein cattle feed

Barbecue and walks
Picking up sea

Unspoiled Hamria
Natural beech washed by the gulf
Flotsum and jetsum

Smell of the sea breeze
Reminds me of summers long past
Spent walking the serf

Life story mumbled
Chubby lips spout snoring yarns
Not faithful Haiku

salsa music's great!
keeps me awake while writing.
must churn this mess out!

must...get...some...sleep...now...
stupid paper is finished!
cannot oversleep...

i need some good sleep
stupid homework...almost done!
sandman chucking bricks...

I need a girlfriend
Why dont chicks dig my odor?
Need to wipe better

writing my papers...
wishing for my love nearby
long night of writing...

Aber hast du machen?
Und hast du machen Pathian?
Nein? Du bist Narr ohne Senf.

so damn disturbing
this blatant haiku hatred
a stain on our souls

he's the destroyer
a krishna in human form
you can't judge a god

not gibbons per se
more like ravenous vultures
tearing my insides

Hitler war kein Gott
Er war Unternarr mit Senf
Und nur ein Schwachsinn

SF, would you be
An large army of gibbons?
A rival to Nipps?

hitler was a god
possessed an artistic mind
death was his paint brush

Hitler was a fool
And an evil fool, too, at that
George is a moron

Bush is not Hitler
Adolf had been educated
George (the) Bush is a fool
Who is too stupid
To be capable of such
Evil like Hitler

haven't you guys heard
bigotry's now in fashion
it's the next big thing

Israel* learned from that
In order to have a country
You must be fascist

dead on arrival
that seems to encapsulate
my entire life

worthless physicists
the grand unification
they need to get laid

the final two weeks
some textbook debauchery
after that, the void

in history class
i got yelled at for laughing
during schindler's list

we was wigglin'
bellies full of spumanti
she tastes italian

that wind from the south
so strong it blew me off course
and another thing

I hate these damn spots
old people have them not ME
grandma has a cock

irradiated
asleep on the monitor
catching cathode rays
