the pond at the park

here's a haiku-ish piece i came up with while i was staring into the green pond at family park, a "snapshot" of the moment, inspired by the "pan of stars" haiku i read some weeks back. if you're wondering what it means, i wrote it to mean nothing else but my own confusion. any other imagined meanings are welcome :)


the pond at the park

the clouds floating under
the water confuse me:
are the fish swimming?
or are they flying?

bananas on a fruitstand: an exercise in seeing

one thing i really want to learn is seeing. not merely looking, but seeing, as if the world was all sky, and everything in it clouds, and everything not just a something but anything: anything that the wind and your imagination dictates the something to be. this was also inspired by charles simic's watermelons hehehe :)

so watyatink?


bananas on a fruitstand

many-fingered hands
grabbing at your eyeballs
staining them yellow
