Hey, nice to meet you! / Check out these recent photos / As I have no shame

Over six years ago, sitting on an airplane home from visiting family in Florida, I wrote the first of what would become thousands of haiku.

Four men do their best.Yet none of it will matter.Life, for them, is pain.

A haiku is a Japanese three-line poem, 17 syllables, written in 5/7/5 syllable count. After three hours on the runway, then a cancelled flight, followed by six more hours at the airport, it was time to devote myself to this ancient literary form.
