Arrogantly Setting Standards: Revolutionary ConTEXTing Haiku

Is it arrogance/
to think that getting to know /
me sets the bar high?

You Know: Revolutionary ConTEXTing Haiku Lament

When we know the pain/
we cause, why are we silent? /
Don’t we understand?

The knots in my gut/
from waiting and storytales/
are not butterflies.

Life IS about me./
I tried to make it about/
her. She won’t let me.

Photos of flowers./
I’d send them to her. But she’d/
think they’re for others.

When you discover/
you’re just an object as a/
lover, you feel strange.

Or
lover, you should object.

Sometimes you put out/
your heart, and people step on /
it as they leave.

Can I make blanket/
apologies? A cosmic /
“I’m sorry!” to all?

Please cancel any/
reservations about us./
Make fantasy trips.

Green IM buttons/
let me know you haven’t done/
the Unthinkable.

Update 7/7/2011 — 3 p.m.
The buttons are gone./
Like seafoam bubbles popping,/
I don’t understand.
