Avoiding You, Avoiding Flames: Romantic ConTEXTing Haiku

Maybe I avoid/
you the way that a moth should /
stay away from flames.

I want to know how/
to cure my Pavlovian/
response. Never mind.

If you set dates that/
are virtual and no one/
calls, you’re still stood up.

shrinks from room-sized to notepad./
Her book list explodes.

don’t care about you.

out of fresh buttermilk on /
Saturday mornings.

Stick her toe in dating pool’s water.
Will taking a break
Be a big mistake
As she becomes online date fodder?
