Something Short and Sweet
(tout suite)

Goodness
After tortuous lines

Something short and sweet
Not even counted as
Haiku
Haibun
Or other
Legitimate
Domestic or exotic form

And are we exotic
Half the world
Away
While what is
Fringe opportunity
Here
Is
Ordinary
There

I guess it must be
So that
When the world comes together
We have something
Both
Amazing
And quotidian
And with some peace
Could have
Delightful things
Enjoy
Extraordinary essences
In all our hours
Everywhere
