Kobayashi Urrea's Tour Haiku, Vol. 2
10/31/2008
pale flight attendant--
brutal weather for flying--
airplane smells like pee

#

six dollar snack box,
Kevin Costner comedy--
below, sleeping land

#

we share small tables,
students in the afternoon--
thank God for coffee

#

Hummingbird's Daughter
has never abandoned me
on Devil's Highway

#

there are miracles:
seventeen small syllables--
room for a lifetime

#

100 plane flights
and all year disappointed--
still no UFOs

#

Mexican-hater
puts immigration sign down--
can't be late for church

#

91 year old
buys my book on border death,
says "I can take it"

#

Republican group
ascertains I'm not illegal--
hugs at the country club

#

until enemies
say my kind should drop and die
love is everywhere

#

revolutionists
keep coming to my readings
to save me from God

#

If I can get home,
Cinderella will warm me
as wind strips the trees.


Adios, Amigos!
Kobayashi Matsuo Urrea
