How To Haiku

there are the chances
of writing twice,
the same thing
from two different
places and there are
the chances of reading
one thing twice
the same way

the chances are about
the same really

idea makers and breakers
not all that easy
to come by

the better mind
the better heart

what foul intentions
and braveries
are hidden
between the disasters
great artifacts of time
those that turn and toss in the ruins

many things are there
if you look for them
long enough
this one reads
heads and spear,
that one reads
ten thousands
and the Sabine or flags

the best are pearls
kept safely aside
for the divers,
those whose very air
is in the return

from where
I do not know
nor how to get there

it is a one way canal
with very tiny sockets

just look down
why don't you
tell us what the soil
relates as it fills
all the dead spaces
tell us how many grasses
have returned
with the same old story.
