one hundred and sixty-seven words
The Quiet World
by Jeffrey McDaniel
In an effort to get people to look
into each other’s eyes more,
and also to appease the mutes,
the government has decided
to allot each person exactly one hundred
and sixty-seven words, per day.
When the phone rings, I put it to my ear
without saying hello. In the restaurant
I point at chicken noodle soup.
I am adjusting well to the new way.
Late at night, I call my long distance lover,
proudly say I only used fifty-nine today.
I saved the rest for you.
When she doesn’t respond,
I know she’s used up all her words,
so I slowly whisper I love you
thirty-two and a third times.
After that, we just sit on the line
and listen to each other breathe.

close your eyes
For that person who proved to me that from nothing, you can become something very important by trying your very best at the thing you're truly passionate at, thank you.

remember i said
i was reading a story
that taught me haiku?
i finished reading
it yesterday morning but
that's not the point here
i moved on to its
sequel which is not really
a sequel in truth
it's the same story
but told in a different
perspective and view
anyway, i just
wanted to say that writing
haikus's really fun
hi hi hi hi hi
hi hi hi hi hi hi hi

pathetic things i do when i get bored
i am writing in
haiku because i just feel
like trying it out
i learned about this
in a story which i am
currently reading
it sounded fun so
i wanted to try writing
but it's difficult
well, i better stop
before i start writing crap
so that's it for now
