Editor's Note:
Each birthday a door
to new, unseen hallway
ending in a door.

Lex Joy
Philosophy class--
One more angry German man
says we know nothing...

Amit Parmessur
Yellow cars speeding;
Farting thin cancerous clouds
like a wintry mouth
Bonnet on my head,
As a king on a tall stool
I watch worlds drying
With a toothless mouth
My multi-colored moustache’s
A dusty toothbrush
Two pharmacy bombs
sending me to paradise,
my doctor to hell
-oOo-oOo-oOo-oOo-oOo-
Geoff Pope
“Shit!”
I heard my mom say
“Shit!” only once in her life —
door crushed ring finger

Amy Harris
Sarah Palin: the
evolution of man will
not be televised.*
* RIP Gil Scott-Heron

Jack Granath
Her body sculpted
by a summer dress--so much
for non-attachment.
She laughs, the purse strap
between her breasts, a lesson
in geography.

James Dye
An intense debate
Does not deserve metaphors!
Fuck! You get the point?
-oOo-oOo-oOo-oOo-oOo-
Jamie Lushbaugh
Your sandpaper tongue
licks my face after your ass.
Thanks for the gross bath.
At Petsmart, select
The three-figure, plush cat tree.
He plays in the box
Um, no, officer.
I don't know whose pot that is.
You sure it's not yours?
-oOo-oOo-oOo-oOo-oOo-
Mitzi Sicking
Unneeded finger
When you, my fellow driver,
Ran the stop sign. Jerk.
-oOo-oOo-oOo-oOo-oOo-
Miriam Sagan
to escape the smoke
as ten thousand acres burns--
movie with mermaids
cherry blossoms float
on the edge of this haiku's
silent green pond scum
-oOo-oOo-oOo-oOo-oOo-
July 2011 AWESOME SAUCE: Geoff Pope
do you suck and chew
on tips of the alphabet
until your mouth bleeds?
-oOo-oOo-oOo-oOo-oOo-
Send birthday money
or at least some more haiku
to assuage your guilt.
