Poetry in Motion, Day 10 (Issa, tr. Robert Hass) Two for Tuesday Bonus!
Look, if I'm going to throw you an extra on this 2-for-Tuesday, why not make it two haiku?
These haiku ran in L.A. and N.Y.C., but the poster's from Chicago.
Two HaikuDon't worry, spiders,
I keep house
Does it think
Kobayashi Issa (1763-1827)
