Urban Haiku

September sun slants
into a Friday office—
frustration, fatigue
Y

American flags
ripple above building cranes,
docked ships in the haze
Y

Racing mists, ghost shreds,
dance by night, by day among
San Francisco joys
Y

Laughter is better
in most everyday things
than hot, bitter tears.
Y

I am reminded
daily and repeatedly—
silliness redeems
Y

Today was the day
my heart was eager to work
productively—hah!
Y
