41. Getting Older

On turning forty.
Not much diff'rent from thirty.
The kids are older.

40. So Close...

Waiting in line, close
but no cigar, or iPhone.
A birthday ruined.

39. The Gift

Birthday haiku book
written by friends, family
best present I got.

34. Nearly There

It's hard work—bike rides,
calories skipped, weights lifted—
losing twenty pounds.

28. Time

Obligations--lots.
From morning until I sleep.
I need three more hours.

27. Working the Land

Dirty hands in gloves
pulling weeds, digging up roots.
Hoping for flowers.

26. Beautiful Saturday

Stuck inside, Econ,
Ops, dry lectures, no windows.
But I'm not painting.

21. Hike-a-Bike

Damn, thorn in my tire.
Pushing, not riding, my bike.
Where'd I leave my pump?

16. Contagion

Back at work. Still sick.
Too much to do—long meetings.
Spreading the virus.

15. Diseased

Runny nose, sneezes,
throat on fire, muscle aches, cough.
Time for a sick day.

14. Penance

Lycra shorts, t-shirt,
push hard for ninety minutes,
dripping sweat—feels good.

13. Temptation

An Apple iPhone
should be incentive enough.
But brownies win out.
