We Are In The Gutter But Some Of Us Are Looking For Better Days
Collection of haikus based on award-winning film Better Days
I
dirty stares / nasty whispers
blue dress girl / flies home
only to find the ground.
II
sad girl / bruised boy / they found love
in the gutter / within the city lights.
III
our iniquities meet its fate
sometimes
at the bottom of the stairs.

Kalopsia
All the girls want her blonde hair and baby blues. Every time she bats her eyes, and the sweet sounds she makes every time she's playing coy. No one ever asks about her angst. Or her bitten nails every time she gets nervous. Or how she tries to find love in every stranger or friend who hates her. But that's okay, because the show has to go on. She is the lead; she can cry later. After all, she's still pretty and has her ambition. All the girls want to be her, didn't you know? Who else will immortalize her sadness? It's true they do want to be her, even Norma.
