a prairie home companion haiku

[mortigi_tempo]

i begin to cry,
listening to a story
of compound fractures--

how lame. hopefully
it's PMS. NPR
shouldn't affect me.

prarie home companion has always had a special place in my heart.
it makes me think of being in the kitchen with my mother and the
radio when i was a kid...

same here, with my dad & stepmom. and now i'm home again, listening to "this american life" tell stories about quiz show contestants instead of watching the superbowl.

(who're you?)

After I went off testosterone,
I cried at the end of every Nature show
when they would release the bottle-fed animal
onto the savanna.

That one last look--
over the shoulder, & then off
to be torn to shreds and eaten
by animals raised by savage teats.

your beauty slays me
