			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I lived in San Francisco back in 1999 I communicated with a group of close friends via haiku and posted them to a website I ran called http://as.if.i.am&#8230; this by they&#8230;</p>
<p>*****************************************************</p>
<p><strong>10:36 GMT -08:00 17/8/99 robin g</strong></p>
<p>nicotine stained eyes<br />
survey the crude neon<br />
back on the road</p>
<p>happy meal<br />
hypocrisy on a plate<br />
i need more ketchup</p>
<p>tick tick<br />
tick<br />
tick tick tick</p>
<p><strong>19:38 GMT 13/8/99 hannah w</strong></p>
<p>yellow plastic wire<br />
outside the raindrop window<br />
cold custard slices</p>
<p><strong>10:32 GMT -010:00 11/8/99 robin g</strong></p>
<p>another misty morning<br />
so fast and numb<br />
the tea bag burst</p>
<p>the moment was<br />
captured in a couple of<br />
syl la bles</p>
<p>rotating fan<br />
moves the air around me<br />
where too next?</p>
<p>missed the eclipse<br />
closed my eyes<br />
wow</p>
<p><strong>13:16 GMT -05:00 3/8/99 brian</strong></p>
<p>i saw her sitting<br />
under sodium lights that<br />
could not hide her eyes</p>
<p><strong>04:06 GMT -08:00 30/7/99 susie t</strong></p>
<p>motorized wheelchair<br />
careening paraplegic<br />
ran right over me</p>
<p><strong>18:03 GMT -08:00 26/7/99 robin g</strong></p>
<p>pieces of purple<br />
couldn&#8217;t face monday morning<br />
kamikaze cup</p>
<p>cars cars cars cars cars<br />
cars cars cars cars cars cars cars<br />
watch the smoke rising</p>
<p><strong>23:46 GMT 22/7/99 mark s</strong></p>
<p>sun is shining<br />
birds are singing<br />
shit, there&#8217;s a tank</p>
<p><strong>08:36 GMT 21/7/99 hannah w</strong></p>
<p>sit on the pavement<br />
people stare as they rush by<br />
an outsider now.</p>
<p><strong>09:39 GMT +08:00 21/7/99 robin g</strong></p>
<p>head up, eyes wide shut<br />
brain going boom boom boom boom<br />
no doughnuts for you</p>
<p>english breakfast tea<br />
(the way englishmen like it)<br />
what a load of shit</p>
<p><strong>14:52 GMT +01:00 21/7/99 david h</strong></p>
<p>lost in the pictures<br />
colouring in was boring<br />
i wanted to paint</p>
<p><strong>15:208 GMT -08:00 20/7/99 susie t</strong></p>
<p>sun is shining<br />
clock is ticking on the wall<br />
voices in my head</p>
<p>boot up and turn on<br />
world wide web superhighway<br />
i&#8217;m strapped in and wired</p>
<p>i kiss you goodnight<br />
lights out and i go to sleep<br />
sunrise you are gone</p>
<p><strong>10:08 GMT -08:00 19/7/99 robin g</strong></p>
<p>some fluff on my shirt.<br />
i did not notice it yesterday,<br />
where did it come from?</p>
<p>lovely purple cup&#8230;..<br />
but no english tea bags.<br />
another still life.</p>
<p>tall shiny metal.<br />
electric shock door handle.<br />
in need of gloves.</p>
<p><strong>11:37 GMT 16/7/99 hannah w</strong><br />
- i cannot stop counting syllables now (10)</p>
<p>haikus for robin<br />
going to be boring as<br />
I lack imagination</p>
<p>Happy and cheerful<br />
Cheerful and happy and bright<br />
Sitting at a screen</p>
<p><strong>10:29 GMT -08:00 16/7/99 robin g</strong></p>
<p>the city below.<br />
view from leafy balcony<br />
a grey morning mist</p>
<p>another week gone<br />
and another week ahead<br />
when will it be now?</p>
<p><strong>12:45 GMT 16/7/99 david h</strong></p>
<p>thanks, i enjoyed it<br />
in a more than cliched way.<br />
keep up the haikus.</p>
<p>writing my first one<br />
a rather sensitive ten,<br />
i couldn&#8217;t quite get the hang of it!</p>
<p><strong>1:06 GMT -08:00 15/7/99 robin g</strong></p>
<p>could be anywhere,<br />
outside it&#8217;s america.<br />
have a nice day, y&#8217;all.</p>
<p>how happy he looks<br />
laughing listlessly alone.<br />
give that man a dime.</p>
<p>chocolate brownie.<br />
pick the crumbs off the wrapper,<br />
lots of E numbers.</p>
<p>sitting at my square desk<br />
surrounded by beige plastic.<br />
think nothing of it.</p>
