Blink

Haiku is a glimpse.
The single moment has passed.
Time to say goodbye.

Seconds

So many noodles
Saturday night dinner plus
Monday lunch (and snack!)

Niche market: Pike/Pine businesses with beer and TVs tuned to NCAA games before 4pm

Madness

Filled in your bracket?
Calling in sick tomorrow?
See you at Redwood

Breaking waves

Of all the bus stops
to get angry at Metro
why one that's on time?

One of these things is not like other

Brave little squirrel
Chomping on crumbs, surrounded
A murder of crows

What's in a name?

C.C. Attle's or
the Men's Room or Verandah
or Cadillac Grill?

The police are watching you

You've got the white mark?
Better move your car quickly.
Or just wipe it off.

Let there be light

For the past 5 months
I never noticed this tree
Thanks, Daylight Savings!

On being a twit

The hell is Twitter?
And why you, JSeattle,
plagiarizing me?

Bye, TT Minor

May flowers?

Flowers ain't no match
for this March winter weather.
Frozen, dead, purple.

Shamu, I miss you

I just returned from
warm, sunny San Diego.
SEA, why you so cold?

Isaiah Thomas vs. Austen Powers

Huskies v. Redhawks
Should have played at the midpoint
Is it dodgeball night?

Ixercise bike?

For the past 2 weeks,
Each time I walk by, I think
Jemaine, where are you?

Collector's edition

So much vitriol
Toward an orange cardboard package
Still, it kind of sucks

What do you do if you forgot your U-Pass and wallet at home?

A. Walk in the rain
B. Beg for driver's mercy
C. Scrounge for two bucks

Mi casa

Does home mean a house?
Is a condo not a home?
Overthinking it?

Long hike

Madison, north side
Walking a-squared plus b-squared
Why you not c-squared?

Are they dots or pellets?

Third Twilight opened
with Inky, Blinky, and Sue
You beat my high score?

This is song 9 on my mix
Highly relevant

Ski masks and blood and knives, oh my!

It's beautiful out.
But, who knows what lies in wait.
Why you so timid?

Choices: Home town pride,
watch Grey's Anatomy or

Madison Market
Those goat milk feta cheese curds
Worth a membership

Sloppy

Children are saddened.
Electricians, given work.
Seagulls choke to death.

Foie Blah

"But it tastes so good!!"
So does Honey Hole. Go there.
Drinks, not duck liver.

Increase prices, decrease guilt!

Getting pho to go
Takes 3 pounds of styrofoam
My Seattle guilt

Rampage

Evergreen, no more.
But only every other?
Mathematic kills?

Another one bites the dust

Seems to be upswing
in decapitated signs.
Why you be knocked down?

I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes

No Parking? Blind Drive?
Yield to Pedestrians? Stop?
What you used to say?

Skip the Pampers

Watch out Hill breeders
There's a new kid on the block
And he's waterproof

Super Yum

Redwood, Super Bowl
Fried chips, fakin' bacon salt
Hillster's sports mecca

Still fighting the war (on Christmas)

Trick photography?
No, this was taken last night.
Time to pull the plug

Beauty lost

Six pointed stars fall.
Once a special, unique sight.
Now, everyday plague.

Hope they're in a better place

Front wheel, back wheel, seat,
handle bars - check, check, check, check.
Left pedal - and check!

Bianchis, in love

Pedals in tandem
Embraced by single U-lock
Handlebars entwined

Vegetarians + Smith = ?

We know Smith hates us
But she can't keep us away
Damn potato chips

Migration

Back in Iowa...
"Saw a bike with single gear!"
It's over, hipsters

Maybe it's...

...all the recent Balls,
but this Slog post sounds dirty.
This is private stuff.

Pepsi can, Dick's wrap
Condom wrapper, rubber glove

Use the Force, Luke

Duct tape's like the Force:
Light side, dark side, and holds the
un'verse together.

Mind the gap

It looks like Summit
used to be covered in brick.
Why you all torn up?

Why you kill any tree?

Final, a better
solution/resolution:
pot and grow your tree!

23rd Ave New Years Resolutions

Use canvas totebag
Buy countertop composter
Only kill one tree

Summit and Thomas

Loads of open space.
Merchants, bring us something fun.
Summit: new Broadway?

It's always a party

Real estate ain't cheap,
at corner of Rock and Roll.
Lots of sex and drugs.

Keep it protected

Stealing my Bailey Coy card?
Stay the hell away
