9 Haikus For Pollen Allergies
I.
I try to run fast
Breathing heavy and in time
Alas, sneeze attack.
II.
Woman looks at me
I look back, no eye contact
Boogers on my shirt
III.
Man sneezes on bus
I say “bless you,” he repeats
Define etiquette?
IV.
Swollen, tearing eyes
Rubbed for brief comfort, now red.
People think I’m high.
V.
Antihistamine.
Whoever invented this
I would like to kiss.
VI.
Synchronous sneezes
Echoed response, now smiles
Mute understanding
VII.
Itchy throats request
Relief through scratching and touch
Just ate seven pounds
VIII.
Those not yet driven
Get an unpleasant surprise
When cars are yellow.
IX.
What must it be like
To live where no plant life is?
Let’s go to Greenland.
