Quintet (Haikus 1-5)

#1 Urban Living

The rat lives with me,

My tarp blocks the view of stars—

Oh, my hunger grows.

#2 Stop Scrolling

A mind slips away—

The finger trails up again.

It descends further.

#3 Auto

Sit in the gray seat—

Right foot presses the pedal. 

The journey begins

#4 Crossword

A word bank can craft

But a bank account can spend

Which do you nurture?

 #5 Billy’s a poet

I write real funny

But it's got meanin’ okay

Grammar don’ define
