White Noise
1.
arrogant conceit -
haiku’s meaning is province,
owned by its readers
2.
God’s movement’s verbal -
pictures cannot be haiku
one-offs have seasons?
3.
haiku definitions
are joke, experts are drowned rats -
to breathe is haiku
4.
words are seasonal,
extinct languages prove this -
just feelings are real
5.
brevity’s divine
truth’s asymptotic, god-like -
what’s simple’s more true
6.
man’s rules are white noise -
haiku’s depth’s unplumable,
but seasons are plumbed
