family – Selected haiku

14 February 2021 – II

broke dad’s sander
while isolating with parents
(it’s fine, he fixed it)

before I return
home, borrowing dad’s router
for lithograph frames

is this big pretzel
energy (BPE)? help,
not a scientist

late, or quite early,
Christmas tree finished journey
from Indiana

online gathering
spread cookies, warmth (from friendship,
sweaters), not COVID

my favorite park
last Dumpscovery Day. hope
to see it again.

happy birthday, Will!
great sibling, friend, tech support.
my... quaranteammate(?)

walked into lake
zero times, and into trees
only once. success!

walking club steps out
again, this time towards great
gelato, sorbet

Robert Simon, with
offerings? presents? do not
know why they are there
