Poor Yu Chang. He teaches at Union College, which
is on a trimester system and has only a week between
exams (they just ended) and the new Spring semester.
Yu can’t start his break until he finishes marking quite
a lot of engineering exams.
It’s a good thing he wrote these haiku and senryu a few
years ago, when he had a little spare time. We can
perhaps all unwind and bliss out in his honor:
someone’s hat
left on a park bench
quiet afternoon
fund drive
the ivy covered building
has a new name
new camera
another set of photos
of the same rock
old tennis ball
someone yells
from a patch of violets
traffic jam
a plastic dog
keeps on nodding
potluck
I was planning to write some amazing punditry and commentary
on legal and social issues of great importance this afternoon.
However, I just got a better offer. May you have companionship
(and food) as good as mine this evening (and avoid the Sobriety
Checkpoints, too).
