Headphone Jack

The headphone jack on my phone has broke

and I’m pretty fucking pissed.

It’s a 1st world problem I’ll admit,

but my music will be missed.

I write this poem with crowded thoughts

from the voices of my peers.

My headphone jack has gone and died

so I mourn with pen-ink tears.

Three bucks for a cup,

Ten minutes late to my class.

Sip, ugh. Tastes like shit.

 

Just a Thought

Function versus form:

A tanka puts two two more lines

on a haiku’s tail.

Haiku forces concise thought,

who needs elaboration?
