I’m wearing my dead brother’s shirt. I can’t remember ever seeing him wear it, but it was his, and now it’s mine. If you asked me what I get out of wearing this shirt, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I was little, my favorite book was The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. We had this ratty orange paperback version — nothing special, I’m not even sure if it had the illustrations in it. I must have read that book 5 or 6 times myself during my childhood, and my sisters had [...]]]></description>

Notes for Performance:

 The title of the original spam serves as the title of the poem and should not be read as part of the spam haiku itself.

Interesting side-note: I never before had received spam until I started signing up for online job-search sites &#8230; coincidence? I think not.
So, if spammers can capitalize on my [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m sorry I let you cut in front of me at the store. You see, I noticed you only had a can of soda in your hand, and I knew that my overladen basket of groceries would take a while to scan and bag. Also, I had my eye on that giant can [...]]]></description>

This image reminds me of a poem I wrote a long time ago, must have been 1990?
===========
If I had a leopard
I&#8217;d take him for walks
In the park.
And no one would pester
Or bother or bug me
After dark.
And I would be happy
As free as could be;
I&#8217;d be proud.
For I would have no one,
Not no one to fear [...]]]></description>

Clearly Stated
What I am is here to be;
What I be is who I am,
And am is I &#8212; for where I be
Depends not on yourself, but me.

		<description><![CDATA[After a depressing day of applying for various jobs, I always enjoy stopping by the Etc. section of Craigslist. There, you can find all sorts of odd jobs and money-making opportunities. I’ve even found a few research-study opportunities, for example, I participated in two different research projects on jury selection: a few hours time and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s hard not to like firemen. Really: the job of firemen has been romanticized for probably as long as they&#8217;ve been driving around in those big, giant, shiny red trucks. They have all the gadgets and muscles of a policeman, without the billy-clubs and pepper-spray: what&#8217;s not to love? But if you look past the [...]]]></description>
