Horse in Quicksand

By Mark Laliberte
spent all night tickling
avatars, on a mission
to unravel time

Live life to its end!
Dying is a business
masked by politeness

put head to pillow
one night marries into next
a horse in quicksand 


Ruin of a storefront
you find rich men attractive,
but ask: at what cost?


Where did today go?
Speed is also a pleasure
to distract the soul


engine of plenty
search the cloud for answers to
life’s stormy questions

syllabic outbreak
this/prob/lem/is/eve/ry/where 
haiku tests virus
