1
 
Moon waning:
    Lonely nights
    ahead.
 
1996 (before 28 April)





2
 
A million T.V.s:
    a million minds possessed
    by the same thoughts, at the same time.
 
1996
most recent modification, 1999





3
 
A mosquito's drill,
    half a room away,
    yet boring into your ear.
 
1996


4
 
A mosquito whining -
turn on the light:
mosquito has vanished.
 
1996





5
 
Such a lonely night;
    but there's the dusk,
    and the trees.
 
Tue., 17 Dec., 1996





6
 
Midnight: half-moon tilted,
setting amid the trees;
    life is half over - yet nearly gone.
 
Fri., 17 Jan., 1997
