this traffic is a

this traffic is a 
demented video game 
with only one life

if i want to raise 
a new life from old ashes 
i must burn this one

i live every day
as if i will not be blessed
with another one

no one has condemned
the wise man to poverty
but the jealous fool

two thousand flaming 
radioactive bullets: 
one half-second burst

no one like me has 
ever existed and i 
cannot be replaced

if i cannot find
a me-shaped place in the world
then i will make one

if the future is 
mine to create then i should 
make the one i want

when the sun rises
it ceases to be just one
of a billion stars

the book of haiku
expresses just one idea
between its covers
