Three Haiku

house arrests

ankle monitor
blinks through our second orgasm
i violate entire states

errands

dog collar fits me
the cashier asks what breed
i say i'm housetrained

campgrounds

mosquito bites hide
the handprints on my bare ass
god maketh you camouflage

In his acceptance email, Cletus Crow described my haiku in @havehashad.com as "clever, sexy, weird and violent," so now you have all the time in the world to disagree with him 💅
