near the porta-potty

    With oil pumps just down the street, I've written a number of haiku about them, such as one about the clanking of the oil drill rig on a foggy night. None of them have seemed so right as this one by Jeffrey Winke.

    All the drill rigs in my neighborhood are about 50 years old. Maybe I should focus on the ancient rigs as they rumble down the street going off to their next job. ;-)

    red-eye flight--
    through the shadows
    peacock bass stalking minnows
