Houstonist Haikus

Hot day to wear tie.
Might as well be a silk noose--
Damn this "October".

Kick in the front door.
I stumble inside, collapse
at the A/C vent.

Breaking out the Shout!
Dress shirts with rings on collars.
Damp clothes, damp house, ugh.

Afternoon fatigue
Paralyzes, in cahoots
with narcotic heat.

Mr. Brown Coffee
Dream-can of freshness, zestness,
Lift up and heal me.

"The name's Brown, sucker.
Woe to he who doubts my fresh,
My zest. I save lives."

Night settles; hell ends.
Drive to Fiesta for foodstuffs
(Brown-cans by dozens).
