"threehaikus 11/14/01" by john rogers
tennis shoe
poetry bible and discarded notebook
cast weird shadows on floor.
pen runs across'd
yellow pillow case.
black streaks/ obvious mistakes.
two yellow mustard-stains
on a blue blue sweatshirt
so permenant. unique. accidental.

"friends.family.lovers." by john rogers
surreal things happen
to some people.
then again,
some people
happen to be
surreal things.

"on a trip" by john rogers
i walked down a path.
i saw lots of trees and
fire.
i found water,
ashes.

~~
part of a poem i am working on called "Deep North".
[...]
the wooden headstone
once upon a long time ago
bore the words
"Love Old Man Antoine Died 1926".
Old Man Antoine
was a crippled shaman at birth,
filled w/the power of
Clairvoyance. he Lived
in a land
where canada could hide england
and the english could
never find it, Eve Cone
and Mount Edziza punctuate
a landscape
of Fire and Ice.

"blue marble stone glass gaze" by john rogers
in the momentary lapse
that is a kiss, i look
at you in the quiet manner
of a dreamer.
your eyelids open.
you hush me
w/your blue marble stare.
you tell me
to stop kissing you
w/my eyes open.
