REHEARSAL

Forgetting its lines again the poem 

Stands foolishly in the spotlight

Fiddling in its pocket, pulling out some string

Which it glares at, avoiding my eye.

(Why do my poems have pockets and why 

Can they always find string there?)

"From the top," I yell."You're a haiku;

Seventeen syllables; a seasonal reference;

Too much for you?"
