Haikus

Part of the reason I love off-kilter people -- like the ones I organized this year's Chiditarod with -- is that I get emails like the following:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok hippies, I have a bunch of shit I want to give away.

Best haiku about how you'll use the item gets it - must pick up friday after 8pm or saturday before 10am - might be possible to work out other times if you're sure you want something but it all needs to go this weekend.

pair of 2' aluminum stilts with 3' extensions
Juiceman Jr. juicer
Food dehydrator
Yogurt maker
Plastic coffee table
7 bottles assorted schnapps (strawberry, chocolate, blue curacao, mint, etc.) - must be 21
Two gangly palms
assorted wine glasses
large cooler and small cooler that are inseparable (not literally)
small, fully charged fire extinguisher
2 circular mosaic mirrors from ikea
large four-drawer metal filing cabinet
2' by 4' fluorescent light fixture - perfect for a grow-light
sweet four-person ikea kitchen table in blonde wood

I'm also looking for a good home for whiskey-to-go-go, a sculpture I made for burning man last year. You may have seen it at the decompression (where it was dispensing whiskey), or at the christmas tree burn (where it was dispensing slushy applejack). Let me know if you're interested.

since childhood I've thought
of a food dehydrator
and fresh fruit roll-ups.

it could rest up high
on the fridge, the lava lamp
glowing softy beside.


flight to seattle
I leave chi-town, friday, six.
your time frame breaks balls.

I love creative people, and I love that I get to know them.
