channeling basho and the oracle at delphi
i dont want to find the spirit of basho. if i did i would just shake him silly for creating my addiction. what the hell was he thinking. rambling around the backcountry like a lonely bob dylan. inventing a ‘stage name’ out of a tree. i always laugh when people pretend they know what he was thinking when he wrote that hokku or this other one. right now i cant figure out how the oracle at delphi got into the title of this haibun. for the love of christ dont ask me what a haiku is. ask that pine over there instead.

into a pond
all the frogs leave

Hi, Mike! My first visit–I regret it! I especially enjoyed reading your Haibun this time. I’ll be back to see the rest of your work. Remember me, an old friend in E.L.?
