scifaiku poetry
The day after
between rubber-sealed
glass vials
one roach scuttles
the bird in the clock
awakes,
calls to nobody
serried Ice-9 ridges
a bamboo flute
not blown
German cockroach

"I want to build a clock that ticks once a year. The century hand advances once every one hundred years, and the cuckoo comes out on the millennium. I want the cuckoo to come out every millennium for the next 10,000 years."
'You must learn the way of "not blowing".'
