Paris Haiku



old cafe Paris
hot reality in cup

black beret on head


buses and trains pass

full of tired people now

workday is over


paris opera house

aria from balcony 

my small apartment

40



we met
at interviews

40th floor 

prudential building 

cold day


she wanted

a future

I wanted 

out of the house 

new life


the lady I talked with 

ex-husband 

worked where I used to

she said bitterly

my chances were sunk


met my new friend 

we had lunch

some Polynesian place

bridges and koi fish 

then we parted


she went her way 

I went mine

I didn’t get an offer

I wonder

if she did

Distance tests horses endurance, time tests person’s character

Man who does not learn from past mistakes, likely to fail in future
