Saving The Earth, Cleaning My Room: Revolutionary ConTEXTing Haiku

Before I save earth,/
I have to first clean up my/
own environment.

I thought I brought joy.
Now I see I stall people’s/
eternal progress.
Or
Now I wonder if I stall/
eternal progress.

When words stop flowing,/
like when a river dries up,/
a fertile field dies.

I dreamed a dream of/
us together. Since we’re not,/
I’m tres miserable.

When I wonder why/
you don’t contact me I should/
just read your email.

Her new boyfriend knows
all the great hiking trails. Can
I invite myself?

Are you trying to/
make yourself so repulsive/
that I can’t like you?

Did you really not/
trust me so much to think that/
I did not trust you?

Although you asked me/
to not worry about you,/
I’m still going to.
