More times than I care to count
Help her make it new

Was cup of cream and sugar
Why order coffee?

A few real people
Mixed with mostly cell phone bots
My loyal readers

Made the same calculation
Caffeine sans sweetener

How patterns of thought trap us
And limit our reach

When they’ve got something at stake
What’s in it for me?

Diminishing returns force
A new strategy

To be the best I can be

Read as a single sentence
Over its three lines?

At making small talk, but still
Search for common ground

What it must be like to be
The people you hate

Once close, lives drifting apart
Still much in common

From last time we chanced to meet?
I seek connection

Ways to rejoice, celebrate
Now they’re forgotten

The most I have seen so far
Will it go higher?

A chance for father and son
To learn together

Two haiku a day
Keeps me fed but off schedule
Christmas in July

Drop in the bucket
A teaspoon in the ocean
Attempts not noticed
