Or more appropriately jet Haiku; some bits written at the end of the red-eye to Washington this morning. It is not the traditional Japanese variety but the Americanized 5-7-5 simple format where anything goes. Hey it was on the red-eye and I'm bushed, beat, tired. It is what it is, yes?
Using the red-eye
Extends our togetherness
Never long enough.
Without your number
I could not call from Dulles
Just to wake you up.
Little animals meet
Dire consequences
In your loving home.
Two things to aim for:
Politically aware
To be off the grid.
Words as if colors
Plied with intricate structure;
Incredible work.
The god damn carry-on
Will go under my god damn seat
when I'm god damn set.

Thank you and thank you.
Mel a "red-eye" is an overnight flight, when it leaves today and gets there tomorrow. I have a habit of calling people who are local when I have early morning layovers to wake them up. That's why no one gives me their phone numbers...or one of them.
OH!
