canku

** i'm on a blogging spree! wheee! **

canku = canada + haiku.

way back in the summer of 2004, cbc radio 3 had a web'zine that rocked. they put up a call for canku submissions, haikus that captured canadian moments.

i submitted one. it was one of the few that they published. i am proud. so i found my haiku again, on a piece of paper stuck inside an old wallet. i reprint it here for your enjoyment.

Burning sky, prairie
dusk corner store candy smokes
girls wave, cars go by

Do you still have the shirt version? (it's ok if it's long since gone to goodwill...)

i'm sorry, i've fallen behind. procrastinating late tonight, inertia slowing the segue from one task to the next. the sand in my potential sleep timer slowly draining. so dumb.

as dumb as that canku is freaking brilliant. love it. please write more. i don't know if academe is it for you (sorry, source incoherent commenting), but writing sure as heck is.

j.g.d.f. has been reading you. loves it. tells me he misses you. says to say hi.

i have a bday present for you. i'm looking at it right now. if you were visualizing, do you think we could make it cross the continent without me actually having to mail it.

as ever,

iSuck
