Ph: Haiku: White Noise Poem by Brian Johnston

1.
arrogant conceit -
haiku's meaning is province,
owned by its readers

2.
God's movement's verbal -
pictures cannot be haiku
one-offs have seasons?

3.
haiku definitions
are joke, experts are drowned rats -
to breathe is haiku

4.
words are seasonal,
extinct languages prove this -
just feelings are real

5.
brevity's divine
truth's asymptotic, god-like -
what's simple's more true

6.
man's rules are white noise -
haiku's depth's unplumable,
but seasons are plumbed
