haiku || Jeff Harrison

Haiku

you can't prove it, Spring?
I must've lost them somewhere
utter the question


take the newspaper
come upon a photograph
twelfth century


we're of no value
make a mental note of it
caught sight of them once


some kind of file card
catch us up on the story
thanks for all your help


utmost test of skill
around the bundled figure
mysterious crimes


a lot of hooey!
brought in by a patrolman -
a few paragraphs


undignified smile
Nietzschean aphorisms
nerve paths and brain cells


broken front bumper
these fragments shored up against
R.H. Raven Toes


a quick change of clothes
alibi nearly saved them
properly arranged
