Random Musings
By Michael Oliveira
let sleeping dogs lie —
so those dogs who are awake
must now tell the truth?
if tempus fugit
he should not take Spirit Air
he’ll always be late
so funny how it’s
easy to turn a sentence
into a haiku
i have ghosted so
many lovers i should change
my name to Caspar
my sense of self would
be much clearer if i did
not own a mirror
