                             --HaikuSonnet

it’s raining as I
sit here with a stash of two
buck chuck’s finest wine

we drink in paper
cups celebrating when the
sun sits directly

at the equator
a world away we ignore
rape   torture  murder

it is a movement of time
a darfur fast march to death
ignored genocide

while we buy  organic sprouts,
wine at trader joe’s
