no, that is not a sexually suggestive title. it is the name of a haiku penned by my friend francis "o'poole". a few years back when he and eli and i were on our way from chicago to new york to celebrate the new year. the ride was long and quite snowy and the two boys were whining the whole time about the necessity of turning back before we ran off the road and got killed. however, my sheer willpower and annoying way of pouting when i want to do something eventually won them over and we made it to a surreal and peaceful snow-covered new york city about 15 (or 16, or 17)hours later.
on the way to n.y.c. - eli and frank
the ride there may have been not so fun, but we made the best of it and frank entertained us by writing some trip-inspired haikus that i would like to share with you now:
Haiku #1
Holy Toledo
I hope I see some Quakers
Before the snow falls
Haiku #2
Hairy Underpants
Warm on a cold winter day
Hairy underpants
Haiku #3
Out of the city
Onto the turnpike of time
Kaleidescope time
Haiku #4
Flying buttresses
Wanting to fly but standing
Hairy underpants
i think we can all agree that frank is quite talented. thanks frank.
(good times, good times)
