Coveting In Church: Revolutionary ConTEXTing Haiku

In church today I /
learned about coveting my/
neighbor’s belongings.

Being Good: Revolutionary ConTEXTing Haiku

I didn’t know that
personal righteousness was
a goodness contest.

“Dress better.” “Calm down.”/
“Be good.” “Act professional.”/
I thought I’d changed more.

Or
“Dress better.” “Calm down.”/
“Be good.” “Act professional.”/
I’m still not enough.

What if I fight for/
something I believe in just/
as hard as you do?

It’s difficult when/
you have to pay for mistakes/
that others have made.

I’m glad I’ve been the/
means for so many to have/
good feelings again.

Can someone who/
did not struggle with you/
to gain the mountaintop even understand
the triumph so grand?
Should they share the view?

Should someone who
didn’t struggle with you
to the mountaintop
share the view?
Or should they stop?

Fights started once more,/
like they had decades before./
This time they worked out.

I try to avoid
giving out guilt. I have so/
much I’m good at it.

I just saw a tough /
cowboy in sparkly skinny/
jeans. That seems so wrong.
