Here I am.
At the bar,
Consuming too much booze.
Attempting to flee.
I've got a lot going on.
My life is a wreck.
What do I do?
How will I get out of this?
How can I solve everything?
I'm in distress.
I'm living a lie.
Drinking to avoid issues.
Nonetheless, I discover them when I go sober.
Life is something else.
I'm in distress.
Is it doable to avoid problems?
Can one avoid problems?
Is it simple to escape?
Where will my problems go?
Will alcohol assist me?
Will drinking help me deal with my problems?
That was amusing.
Nothing changed.
I'm in debt.
I'm getting deeper.
I'm in distress.
My life is a wreck.
What do I do?
Some people drink for enjoyment.
I drink to avoid my problems.
Permanent problems.
How do I overcome my habit?
My drinking is no longer normal.
It's now a habit.
It's also my problem.
It contributes to my problems.

His Haibun
He does not like poetry; I write it anyway and do not tell him. It's true his face is not a poet's face. It is round and open, youthful; too apt to be compared to the sun. His nose is neat. It is impossible to imagine him smoking a cigarette, terse, full of cheekbones and tension. His warmth burns my fingertips. I am here for his fascinating body, the haphazard freckles I touch one by one; he is here for my eyes, just my eyes. A sunbeam sneaks through the curtains and pierces us both, sizzling the spices of his skin. I inhale and wrap myself in him. He kisses my eyes.

Timothy
My fingers inch closer to the keyboard, itching to obliterate a day's worth of work. It's some of my best writing I've done to date, but at what cost? The words seem to bleed, dripping onto my desk. For a millisecond, I'm sitting in front of a crime scene, looking at dead, begging eyes. Why? Why me?
