The dense fog lingers.
Trash truck roaring round the block.
Bought milk at Speedway.

#21 It was not a tornado warning

Car horn two A. M
No one in the black pickup
Slumped against the wheel

#22 WINDOW BLINDS

Shadow of the blinds
Grid of unreality
Creeps across the wall.

#23 The Most Perfect Haiku?

Your entire life
Has led up to this moment:
Reading this Haiku.

#24 picking up the car from the shop

Telephone poles stand
On a windy half-school day
I pick up the car.

#25 It's still nice to be outside

First warm March spring day
A winter's worth of dog poop
Shovel and small rake.

#1 131 backed up

The highway is jammed
No left turn on Burton Street
The pasta is cold.

#2 You are welcome

I don't fix Xbox
But I Googled the number
For you on the phone.

#3 Recipe from Newspaper

At the grocery store,
They have no arugula.
We will use spinach.

#4 icy roads

There was nothing wrong,
Yet I fixed the computer.
Husband slamming doors.

#6 Ice and curb

The rear wheel broken,
We drove fifteen miles an hour
All the way through town.
