One Line Poems
by Zoketsu Norman Fischer
at everydayzen.org

language shares a common tongue
...
huddled masses with socks
...
arriving on time and late
...
wonder where width went
...
me or it - either way you jump off
...
just over that hill: the one one wants one
...
my legs cramp, my head moves its mouth
...
do get simultaneous animals
...
strip language of emotion, end up with operate
...
nevertheless, again more
...
predicate, pontificate, travel long distances and speak truth
...
it as do be it he me or
...
in a short while craft - not much to do about it
...
turn a single letter - it becomes a bird or later
...
a string pulled out of a word endlessly, never snaps
...
disabled and detained, probably dispelled
...
place it on a stump
...
fragment detachment
...
nature speaks to those who disappear into it
...
all the images my eyes have seen now memory?
...
dumped ashtray on bed when pulled down covers
...
limited potential so must rely on hope or help
...
olfactory workers on break
...
Benedict knew God loved him
...
my stupidity, lack of care, laziness, impatience, all endearing to someone
...
genus, genius, genous, generous, degenerate, disingenuous
...
how many meals in a lifetime?
...
gangrenous tooth defection or flesh encumbrance
...
acid of sword blade on the road of crushed petals
...
rug phrases, race cages
...
sound of someone long gone
...
aware of trauma in room, mild sinking
...
where there’s sentence there’s attention
...
violin passion on the derangement of purse
...
Jabes mentions book, desert, God, Jew, nothing
...
mentioning blossoms cements poetic mood
...
insurance reimbursement//worrisome
...
Dr. Laura pins you down
...
taxtrick (who’s arbiter of right and wrong)
...
everyone there is dying - you should think of that
...
long heat of happiness, stiff eyeball
...
wires and beams, stray dog
...
everything brown in the room
...
imitation of poet no longer warm for life
...
horticultural tour of parlor
...
hold onto music: not possible
...
release pit or point... quite occurring
...
spent pine needles scattered in cypress tree
...
stone poem about puddles on step
...
red sweater of yesteryear, worn, now, worn?
...
all those books, lamentation, song, punctuation
...
career dependency//sky diving// careen and float
...
flat flaot flout finally
...
self’s impossible, listen to rain
...
all stopped “ “ some light is bright
...
beyond the body limit disturbance
...
wonderful dilemma, icy decisions open into view
...
trees above trimmed bushes, sentinels
...
walking among red leaves looking up()()()s k y
...
car (mind) break down
...
long winter’s night: distasteful lamplight
...
phone: lost and forgot
...
having a baby, knowing what to do
...
sex in middle age (nice to know you)
...
sound of door, voice, wind
...
our house, our house, our house (another’s)
...
parts of worlds, words, boxes left unclaimed
...
record, bow, praise, lament, offer, decide, fade.......
...
no reach
...
fountain and tree attract duck
...
heron in field tip-toes silent
...
music in the way one goes on
...
where’s blend of folk, rhyme’s reason
...
one fixed idea broken
...
one’s fixed idea (one is)
...
why not gather, determine (contradiction)
...
who knows interrogative tone, tentative gesture
...
Mexican people see Mary at night
...
turning the bad dead over in the coffin
...
jar in Tennessee (unlikely to be in Memphis)
...
not going to Paris - see it best (tasting name)
...
foot at end of ankle, hand at wrist
...
art an end of rankle, sand in fist
...
(whew! air in air out)
...
going slowly one goes further
...
you and I could refer to same
...
pages, like beaches, wet
...
translation: pushing the stone aside
...
these and those (lips and teeth)
...
: mystery image at life’s end
...
which; happily family laughter
...
stormy eruption at civilization’s end
...
words turning noisy, snarl
...
sprig snapped, a life, crushed blossom
...
Benedict’s love, to glide (elision)
...
my disinclinations, thirsty root
...
light wanes but sky’s still
...
one repeat (death makes soil)
...
hardy (be slow my heart) tidy
...
which, whither, whether, wither, with, weather, willy-nilly
...
someone everyone anyone wondered
...
**open mouth ** close door**speak**stay warm*
