Haiku 1-4

1

I can’t help but hate
haiku. They end abruptly
just as they’re getting

2

going.  See?  I need
another just to finish
this simple thought, and

3

maybe it’s true that
all the love in the world could
fit in a matchbox

4

but who would want to
try, and where, in that case, would
one store their matches?
