another halku for lovers

fresh from the shower
beads of water loving you
making me jealous

homey

from out of the past
they came together
doubling tapping
right fist to right fist

together they said
let's do it

upon parting
together they said

watch your back!

fashion

where do you get
them baseball hats
with the bills
in the front
on the left
on the right
and in the back

where do you get
them denims
with the extra long rise
that settle
somewhere between the waist 
and the knees

where do you get
them sneakers
that don't lace up
with tongues hanging out
in that rich dirty white color

where do you learn
to use "you know"
instead of 
commas, colons, and semi-colons
you know what I mean

is it all just a fad
is something vatic being said

at another time
it was a perfectly creased fedora
sporting a wide stiff brim

a suit of bright yellow cloth
football shoulder pads in the jacket
nipped at the waist by a single button
trousers that ballooned at the knees
and tightly hugged the ankles 

all accessorized with a six foot gold watch chain to whirl
sans a watch
while swaggering down the "Avenue"
to a mantra of
hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho

A Haiku for lovers #1

after lovers fight
who will zip up her black dress
or fix his bow tie
